Relationship Therapy & Coaching: Work With Me Solo
This is for you if motherhood has changed you and your relationship – and something about the way you’re living and relating to others right now just isn’t working for you.
You’re a capable, resourceful woman, and from the outside, your life looks great – because it is. And yet, something doesn’t feel right.
Maybe you don’t feel quite like yourself, especially around your partner. Perhaps you miss the joy and connection you used to share, don’t feel truly seen or appreciated since having kids, and don’t know how to close the distance between you.
If you’ve been feeling this way, it makes sense if you don’t want to keep living like this, and are looking for a way to stop having the same conversations, reactions, and regrets on repeat.
Most women I work with are not new to personal development. They read books, follow experts, listen to podcasts, and reflect a lot – sometimes replaying conversations long after everyone else is asleep.
If you relate, I know you do this because you care deeply about doing better – for yourself and for your family.
And yet your relationship can often feel like the one area where all the awareness you’ve developed evaporates – especially when you’re constantly being interrupted by small people, and have so little time to yourself.
I get it – there’s something about our most intimate relationships that means with your partner, the version of yourself you know you’re capable of being can feel frustratingly out of reach.
And underneath all of this, there’s often an unspoken worry:
“Relationships depend on other people… so maybe this is the one thing I can’t really change?”
And that question makes sense – but when you keep your focus there, it’s easy to get caught in the same old patterns of waiting, hoping, explaining, trying, reacting, and regretting.
If you’re ready to change that, you’re in the right place.
Why I Created Love Happy Live Free
I started my counselling diploma when my eldest had just turned three, and my youngest was eight months old – just weaning, still waking in the night. The course leader warned me it was going to be intense, but I was up for the challenge and excited for the learning and growth.
Becoming a therapist while still quite early in my matrescence was an incredible experience. Learning to get comfortable talking about anything and everything, I really noticed what people did and didn’t talk about everywhere I went. And the biggest taboo of this phase seemed to be the strain parenthood puts on couple relationships.
As my babies grew into children, I grew into my new career. I completed more trainings, and started specialising in relationships after kids. I was working with individuals and couples, giving talks, and running events supporting parents with their relationships.
In my therapy room – and later in my inbox – I kept hearing from women who had already spent years learning, reflecting, and trying to do things differently. They understood themselves pretty well, could name patterns, and often knew what wasn’t working.
And yet when it came to their relationship – especially since becoming parents – they still found themselves snapping, over-explaining, or going quiet, despite desperately wanting things to be different.
Some wanted couples counselling but couldn’t access it. Some were ready, but their partner wasn’t. And many were already clear: waiting for someone else to change wasn’t bringing them any closer to the relationship or life they wanted.
I remember the moment this really clicked for me.
I was sitting at my kitchen table, highlighting passages in yet another excellent relationship book – the kind full of advice I knew my clients had already heard – and thinking: there’s a reason this is so hard to put into practice.
And that’s when I realised why it wasn’t enough.
What was missing were the deep relational insights and skills that help you actually respond in ways which bring out the best in yourself and the people you’re closest to.
It was only on my own journey – training as a therapist alongside becoming a mum – that I’d learned how to stay present when emotions run high instead of feeling hijacked by them, hold boundaries with compassion, pause instead of pushing, and speak instead of stewing… genuinely shifting dynamics.
You don’t need to get a counselling diploma to make a relationship work. But the body of research that informs therapists has so much to offer to anyone who wants relationships that feel calmer, closer, and fairer.
That’s why Love Happy Live Free was created.
It’s for women who are committed to “doing the work” – looking inwards, breaking cycles – and are realising that their relationship isn’t the one place they’re powerless, but where their greatest growth will actually happen.
Relationship challenges can leave you feeling like you’re reaching your limit – but they’re often a sign you’re ready for something different
When relationships feel hard, especially after kids, it can feel like you’ve hit a wall. But with the right support, it becomes clear what you’re looking at is a doorway.
The way through appears when you gain relational insights and skills – so you know what to do in the moment, not hours later in your head – such as how to:
- Stay grounded even when emotions run high – so you don’t get pulled into painful cycles
- Respond rather than react, even when you feel frustrated or overwhelmed
- Communicate your feelings and needs clearly so you can actually get heard
- Hold boundaries without over-thinking, exploding, or shutting down
- Repair disconnection in ways that invite closeness
The truth is that personal growth without these skills just isn’t enough to give you the peace and connection you’re craving.
For many women, learning relational skills is the natural next stage of personal development – the part that turns insight into real life change.
How to lean into the turning point your relationship since motherhood has created
Here’s the thing: waiting for your partner to change can stall your own growth, leaving you circling the same frustrations.
This is for you if you’re ready to start with you – not because everything is “on you”, but because you’re ready to feel back in control of your own life.
It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing things differently – in ways that actually reduce your emotional load rather than adding to it.
What working with me is – and isn’t
This is not about:
- Fixing your partner
- Being more accommodating to make others more comfortable
- Talking things through endlessly without anything actually changing
It is about:
- Understanding your emotional world in a new, more empowering way
- Learning how to stay connected to yourself when things feel tense or uncertain
- Practising boundaries with compassion for yourself and others – so your feelings and needs don’t get lost in your attempts to keep the peace
- Developing relational skills that change how conflict unfolds, disconnections are repaired, and closeness is achieved
Women who work with me don’t just understand things differently, they respond differently.
They feel calmer in their bodies, clearer in themselves, and more able to be themselves and enjoy their lives – not just at home, but everywhere.
Why this matters (especially if you’re a parent)
The deeper shift isn’t just about your relationship.
It’s about the emotional atmosphere your children grow up in – and what it feels like for you to know you’re living in a way that feels aligned.
Many women I work with reach a point where they realise they want their children to see them:
- Valuing themselves alongside everyone else
- Being able to move through emotions with ease
- Communicating without criticising or blaming themselves or anyone else
- Asserting their needs calmly and warmly
When this stuff changes, it doesn’t just stay inside your relationship.
It shapes what your children learn about boundaries, closeness, and self-respect – and that kind of change ripples outwards, both now and later in their own lives.
Who this work is for
This work is for women who are:
- Done putting themselves last
- Willing to practise, not just talk
- Ready to grow into a a steadier, less reactive version of themselves
- Open to meaningful change in themselves and the relationships that matter to them
It’s not for women looking for quick fixes or a way to change their partner without engaging in their own growth.
If you’re here, this might be your moment
If you’ve been reading this thinking: This is me… but maybe not yet.
I get it.
Just know this: Readiness doesn’t always feel like certainty.
Sometimes it’s more like knowing you need something to change.
What actually changes when you learn relational skills
Here’s what women who complete this programme tell me they notice changing:
- They trust themselves to stay calm and clear, even in difficult moments
- They know how to express their needs without guilt, resentment, or spiralling into conflict
- They feel more seen, understood, and appreciated – without needing their partners to get everything right (because it starts with you)
- They’re communicating in ways that create less tension and more closeness
- They know how to break patterns that aren’t working for them – and replace them with habits that make life feel lighter
- They’re showing their kids what healthy love between perfectly imperfect people actually looks like
This isn’t about changing who you are – it’s about becoming your most grounded, confident self. And from there, changing the way you relate to your partner, your family, and your life.
One past participant described it as:
“a key element of a life altering shift… for the first time in my 34 years I am finally seeing parts of why I’ve been unhappy and have a roadmap to getting to a better place.”
Another said:
“I feel like I’ve got the skills that I knew I lacked, but didn’t know what those skills were.”
This is what Love Happy Live Free supports you to build: A happier, healthier relationship – with yourself first, and then your partner, and kids.
Because the connection you crave starts with you.
How Love Happy Live Free actually works
As a mother myself, and having worked with parents in this phase for many years now, I have a deep understanding of the pressures of family life – especially on our time.
Over the years, I’ve honed the Love Happy Live Free method to guide you through a process of self and relational awareness that equips you with the tools you need to rise to the challenges of relationships while parenting.
I know the last thing you need right now is another thing to stay on top of! So I’ve structured this coaching programme to support you to make real, lasting change in a way that feels doable alongside family life.
Guidance you can actually use
You’ll learn everything you need to know about how healthy relationships really work – not just in theory, but in practice – and how to interrupt patterns, even if you’re doing this work on your own.
Past participants describe the teaching as practical, down-to-earth, and full of actual tools which you can use in the moments that might usually trip you up.
I know you’re busy, so the content is delivered in short, focused lessons you can fit into your life.
- 18 short, focused video/audio lessons
- 6 guided reflection/discussion workbooks to help you integrate what you’re learning
- 6 relationship transformation workbooks with journaling prompts, scripts, and real-life examples
Support that doesn’t wait for anyone else
You don’t have to figure this out on your own – and you don’t have to wait for anyone else to be ready.
You’ll be supported by me throughout the programme, with space to reflect, ask questions, and get guidance as you put what you’re learning into practice, navigating real situations in your daily life.
This includes:
- A midway 1:1 coaching session with me to deepen your work and tailor it to your situation
- A closing 1:1 session to reflect on what’s changed and how you’re going to carry it forwards
- Ongoing email support throughout the 16-week programme – your own personal relationship expert in your phone
Growth that carries into every part of your life
The changes you make here will ripple out way beyond your relationship.
As you start to feel more grounded and confident, it will impact how you parent, how you work, and how you feel about yourself too.
You’ll benefit from:
- Weekly practices to strengthen emotional regulation, self-awareness, and relational understanding
- Bonus resources to support you with parenting, repair after conflict, and self-esteem
- Lifetime access to all materials, so you can return to them whenever you need a reminder

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my partner to take part?
Not unless you want to.
Love Happy Live Free is designed so you can do the work on your own. Some women share parts of the process with their partner, others don’t – and both approaches can work well.
Ultimately this is about you getting what you need right now.
If you’re unsure whether working with me solo or together will be a better fit for you, we can talk it through on our call.
How much time does it take?
The programme is designed to fit around family life – including very full, messy, ones.
Each module includes short (10–15 minute) video or audio lessons, which you can work through at your own pace. You also choose when and how you engage with the suggested exercises.
Most women complete the core programme within 6–16 weeks, but you’ll have lifetime access to all the materials, so there’s no need to rush through anything.
Is there 1:1 support?
Yes – you’ll be supported by me throughout, including with two personal coaching sessions:
- one partway through the programme, to deepen and integrate what you’re learning
- one at the end, to reflect on what’s changed and plan your way forwards
You’ll also have email support throughout the 16 weeks – email me as often as you like and I’ll get back to you each week.
Plus additional 1:1 sessions can be booked during or after you complete the coaching if you’d like more support.
What if life gets busy and I fall behind?
That’s completely okay – and very normal.
You’ll have lifetime access to all the programme materials, so you can pause and return whenever you need to. This isn’t about performing or keeping up – it’s about real change in your actual day-to-day life.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes – you can pay in full or spread the cost over four monthly payments.
Is this therapy?
No – this is a coaching programme. Love Happy Live Free is practical, structured, and focused on helping you understand and change patterns so you feel more empowered and connected.
If you’re looking for a more therapeutic, reflective space, I also offer individual counselling (by phone, Zoom, or in person).
If you’re wondering which approach would support you best right now, feel free to get in touch.

You don’t need things to be at breaking point.
