Relationship Therapy for Couples

Couples therapy in Cheltenham and online across the UK for relationship difficulties, communication issues, and neurodiverse or intercultural partnerships. 


Relationships can be one of the most meaningful—and most challenging—parts of our lives. You may find yourselves having the same arguments, struggling to feel heard or understood, or feeling distant and disconnected.

Or you may notice patterns in your relationships that you don’t fully understand.


Bilingual Couples Therapy – English & German


You do not need to share the same first language to attend therapy together. I work with couples where one partner prefers English and the other German, allowing each person to express themselves in the language that feels most natural.


Where helpful, I translate or clarify what has been said and check the intended meaning with both partners. Together, we explore how language, cultural expectations and different ways of expressing emotions may contribute to misunderstandings or disconnection.

My approach

My work focuses on understanding the patterns between you both—rather than blaming one person or the other.


Together, we explore:

  • How communication breaks down
  • Emotional responses and triggers
  • The impact of neurodiversity and cultural differences
  • Ways to rebuild trust, understanding, and connection


I offer a supportive and structured space where both partners can feel heard. 


I also offer individual therapy for those wishing to explore personal patterns more deeply.

Neurodiversity & intercultural angle

I have a particular interest in working with:

  • Neurodiverse couples
  • Intercultural and interracial couples


These dynamics can bring richness—but also unique challenges that are often misunderstood.

Session cost

60-minute session at £120


Investing in your relationship requires both dedicated time and specialist clinical expertise, which is why my couples and family sessions are structured as a full 60-minutes. This extra time ensures that every voice is safely heard, allowing us to navigate complex family dynamics or bicultural relationship differences without feeling rushed. By working with a specialist psychotherapist, you are choosing a focused, expert space designed to create lasting structural change for your partnership or family.


Session Frequency & Rhythm

  • Couples & Family Therapy: For relationships and families, a bi-weekly rhythm (every 14 days) is highly recommended. This spacing gives you the necessary time to process new insights and actively implement the relational work within your daily life.

Practical Support: To keep your progress moving forward between appointments, I occasionally provide small, targeted homework tasks or reflection exercises. This ensures your relationship dynamic continues to develop positively while giving you the space to integrate everything at your own pace.
