Claudia Behnke
Registered Psychotherapist, Ma (Psych), PGDip Psychosynthesis Psychology, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, UKCP accredited
For couples facing relational hurdles, finding the right guidance can make all the difference. As a Psychotherapist with specialized training in Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) model, my approach to couples counseling is dynamic, direct, and rooted in fostering genuine connection. Additionally, my work is informed by the insights of Esther Perel, whose pioneering thoughts on intimacy, trust, and desire add a nuanced layer to my practice. Together, we delve into the challenges you face, from communication breakdowns to issues of intimacy and trust. The aim is to equip both partners with the tools and insights needed for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship. Through a blend of practical skills and deeper understanding, the goal is to rekindle connection and transform relational dynamics.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
Through marriage and couple counselling, couples can resolve recurring issues that have been affecting their relationships. It can help them move towards a more trusting and closer relationship. Most of the time, our relationships are shaped by our past experiences with either our parents or family. Being able to work with couples is rewarding and I’m hopeful that they can finally move on from these problems.

Abi Jude
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP Member
I often work with clients around their relationships, with themselves and their partners, children and wider social groups. We live in a world where it is hard to find connection to our own vulnerability and to allow intimacy. Who are we and what do we want from intimacy and relationships is a good question to ask ourselves. We may not have had great examples of a balanced relationship from our family of origin, we may struggle to find time for ourselves and maintain our sense of identity within a couple. The impact of work, money, children and family can also swamp us and we may find ourselves blaming, disconnecting and feeling angry or low. I will work with you to identify your patterns and create time for you to explore a different experience.

He said, she said-- but did either of them listen? It is an oft-repeated truism that many relationships fail because of flawed communication. But many relationships fail for other reasons. My approach to couple counselling is to start at the end. Is there truly a prospect for these two people to experience a loving and enduring relationship? If there is, we can work out the details over the next few sessions. If there is not, we can find a way for two mature adults to part in such a way that they can both move forward to a better life.

Donna Mitchell
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
When there is a breakdown in a relationship I help both partners to voice their inner worlds- explain how things are feeling for both of them. It's often only once both partners are able to acknowledge what the other one is really going through that we are able to move towards healing the relationship.
