Couples therapy in Scunthorpe at Coltsfoot Counselling offers a safe space for partners to work through relationship difficulties, communication issues and emotional disconnection.

I am a qualified therapist undertaking specialist postgraduate training in Contemporary Relationship Therapy (Year 3 MA, COSRT accredited).

As part of my clinical development, I am offering low-cost therapy for couples, intimate partners, families, and relational groups.

This provides an opportunity to access dedicated relationship-focused therapy at a reduced rate, while benefiting from my existing clinical experience and ongoing specialist training. All work is supported by regular supervision and follows the ethical guidelines of BACP.

I work with a range of issues including communication breakdown, conflict, trust, intimacy, and navigating change within relationships.

Together, we’ll work on:

• Improving communication and emotional connection

• Rebuilding trust after betrayal or distance

• Navigating conflict without blame or withdrawal

• Strengthening intimacy and closeness

• Understanding the impact of stress, trauma, or life transitions on your relationship

You don’t need to be at breaking point to seek help – many couples use therapy as a way to reconnect, deepen understanding, and grow stronger together.

I am already a qualified counsellor and run my own private practice.  I have worked already with 400+ individual clients but I am seeking working with more than one person in the room to fulfil my MA requirements.  I have already completed year 2 of the MA.

I will offer a 30 minute free consultation online to couples / relationships to find out if I am the right fit for you.

At Coltsfoot Counselling we do not work with anyone who have previous convictions of sexual offences and/or are currently the focus of an ongoing police investigation or criminal justice proceedings.

We do not work with current domestic violence/abuse and any court cases.

I am reasonably flexible with my availability on Teams.  Usual office hours would apply for face to face therapy but will do my best to accommodate people as I can.

Every client arrives with a unique story, and my role is to meet you exactly where you are.  As an integrative therapist, I do not believe in one-size-fits-all approaches; instead, I blend humanistic warmth with psychodynamic depth to help you understand not just what you are experiencing, but where it comes from.

In our work together, we explore both the present moment and the deeper origins of your challenges; whether that is anxiety, relationship patterns, self-esteem issues, emotional overwhelm, or simply a sense of being stuck.  My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that lasting change emerges when we feel seen, supported, and safe enough to explore our inner world.

No two clients are the same, so no two sessions are either.  We will move at your pace, following what feels most meaningful for you, while I gently help you make connections, gain clarity, and build emotional resilience.  My aim is to help you develop a more authentic relationship with yourself and create the life you want to live.

I am currently in my final year of my MA in Contemporary Relationship studies and am looking to offer discounted couples rates of £60 per couple per session.  I am trained in relationship theory and as an integrative counsellor, I am offering this reduced rate to further add experience to complete my coursework.  I will be fully supervised by a COSRT registered supervisor who oversees my ethical practice.

Before beginning therapy, I offer a free 15-minute telephone or Microsoft Teams assessment.  This initial conversation gives you space to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you are hoping to explore, and what you feel you might need. It is also an opportunity for us both to get a sense of whether we are the right fit for one another.  While being ready for change is an important first step, I believe that effective therapy also depends on finding a client–counsellor partnership that feels safe, comfortable and aligned.  During this assessment, we can discuss any questions you have, as well as my practice boundaries and limitations, so you can make an informed and confident choice about how you would like to proceed.

For couples during my training I will offer a 30 minute free session to see if we are the right fit for each other.
