Relationship Therapy & Coaching: Work With Me Together With Your Partner
You want to feel close again
You want to feel like a team. To talk without tension. To laugh more. To handle challenges without spiralling into the same old arguments. You want your relationship to feel like a source of comfort and connection – not confusion or conflict.
And most of all, you want to enjoy family life, together.
But something’s shifted. Maybe gradually, maybe suddenly. And now it feels like you’re stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break – no matter how much you care about each other.
If you’re here, you’ve probably been trying for a while.
You’ve talked. Maybe you’ve tried not talking. You’ve had “the big conversation” (maybe more than once).
Perhaps you’ve googled whether this is just what long-term relationships are like.
And you’re wondering what to do next.
There is a way forwards – and we’ll find it together
You don’t have to know whether you need couples counselling or relationship coaching – that’s my job.
When you book an assessment with me, I’ll help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface – and what kind of support will genuinely help you create the relationship you want.
But first, let me tell you why I care so deeply about this work.
I used to think that once you met the right person and built a life together, the rest would just fall into place. Of course you’d have disagreements – but if you loved each other, it would all work out.
But over time – between having children, growing as individuals, and just the wear and tear of life – I realised love isn’t always enough. My husband and I had moments when we felt like teammates… and moments when we barely recognised each other.
What really woke me up was realising how much we were repeating the same arguments – different topics, same feelings underneath. And the impact it was having on both of us: leaving us unsettled, distracted, not our best selves at work, with the kids, or with our family and friends.
As a therapist in training, I was learning all these powerful models of what makes relationships thrive. I started applying them at home – sometimes messily, sometimes defensively – and I started seeing small shifts. But it wasn’t until I trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) that the pieces really came together.
I saw how we were both protecting something tender underneath. And that changed everything.
We learned how to really hear each other. To speak without blame. To understand our stuck patterns and start choosing new ways to connect. Not always perfectly – but determinedly. And the more we grew, the more I wanted to help other couples feel this too.
Now, whether I’m supporting couples in therapy, or coaching them through Love Happy Live Free, this is the heart of my work: helping you find your way back to each other.
Because closeness isn’t luck. It’s a skill – and you can learn it.
Start with a Relationship Assessment
When things feel difficult between you, it can be hard to know what to do – or where to begin. That’s why the first step is a Relationship Assessment.
This isn’t just a standard intake form. It’s a chance for both of you to reflect on your relationship, be heard in a structured and supported way, and get expert insight into what’s really going on – and what will help.
Here’s how it works:
- You’ll each complete the Insight & Connection Therapy or Coaching Questionnaire – a powerful reflection tool designed to help you explore your relationship from multiple angles (many clients say the questionnaire itself creates lightbulb moments).
- I’ll review your responses and spend time thinking about the best path forward for you – whether that’s therapy, coaching, or a combination of the two.
- We’ll meet for a 50-minute session (on Zoom or in-person) to start exploring the changes you want to make and map out the best route for getting there.
The cost of the assessment is £330 per couple.
There’s no commitment to continue. But you’ll leave with clarity, insight, and a plan – whether you go on to work with me, or take that understanding elsewhere.
Working On Your Relationship: What Comes Next
Once we’ve completed your assessment, I’ll recommend the best path forwards for you as a couple.
Some couples will benefit most from weekly couples therapy. Others will get more from a structured coaching programme like Love Happy Live Free. And some will benefit from a combination of the two.
Both paths can lead to powerful, lasting change – it’s simply about what will meet your needs best right now.
Option 1: Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
If therapy is the right route for you, we’ll meet weekly for 50-minute sessions, usually on a Tuesday or Thursday between 9:30am and 2pm.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, understand your emotional dynamics, and start responding to each other in new, more connected ways. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – the most well-researched and effective approach to couples work available today.
Together we’ll explore the patterns you get stuck in, how they’ve developed, and what you each need to feel safe, seen, and close again.
- £130 per session
- Weekly format
- Open-ended work, tailored to your pace and needs
Option 2: Love Happy Live Free Couples Coaching
If coaching is the right route for you, you’ll begin Love Happy Live Free – the relationship transformation programme designed to teach you the mindset, skills, and habits of strong, happy couples.
You’ll complete most of the programme in your own time, guided by short video lessons, practical workbooks, and three private sessions with me.
Love Happy Live Free is ideal for couples who are ready to be proactive, want structure and tools, and are keen to create new patterns with support and guidance.
- £880 per couple or 4x monthly payments of £242
- 18x video lessons, 6x workbooks, 3x 1:1 sessions, and 16 weeks of email support
- Lifetime access to materials
You don’t need to know which option is right just yet – that’s what the assessment is for.
I’ll guide you towards the support that fits your relationship best, and we’ll take it from there.
What Couples Are Saying
Real words from people who chose to invest in their relationship – through therapy or coaching – and found new ways to connect.
Breaking Old Patterns and Building Something New
“We were stuck in a horrible cycle of resentment, defensiveness and arguments. I wanted to feel happier and lighter.”
– Love Happy Live Free Couples Coaching (July 2024)
“My husband and I were stuck in certain patterns of behaviour that we were unable to break out from on our own. We felt we needed some guidance, tools and support to help us.”
– Couples Counselling (March 2023)
Clearer Communication and Emotional Understanding
“We now have a common language and framework to use and that just takes the conflict out of situations.”
– Love Happy Live Free Couples Coaching (July 2024)
“Since working with Catherine we are much better at breaking the cycles of conflict when they start to occur… We are talking to each other with more respect and in a more adult-to-adult way.”
– Couples Counselling (May 2024)
Greater Calm, Closeness, and Confidence
“I just feel so much more relaxed and happier. It takes so much energy to be cross and resentful and I now just laugh so much more. It’s meant home is a much happier place.”
– Love Happy Live Free Couples Coaching (July 2024)
“We are calmer and more of a team.”
– Couples Counselling (June 2022)
A Safe Space for Growth and Real Change
“Catherine was able to help us get to the point where [my husband] realised that none of the above were the case and that it is just the way I am built and nothing personal against him… Our conversations 5 months after Catherine released us into the big wide world are still so much more productive, using what we learned from her.”
– Couples Counselling (February 2022)
“She created this wonderful safe space where there was no blame, or guilt and we could just get down to sorting our issues out without upsetting each other like we usually did.”
– Couples Counselling (October 2021)
What They Would Tell You
“Do it! I felt like we needed to have a seismic shift to improve things. But it turns out that, when you’re both in it together, some quite minor tweaks can make a huge difference.”
– Love Happy Live Free Couples Coaching (July 2024)
“Go for it! You’ll learn so much about yourself, as well as each other and your relationship. It will be worth the investment.”
– Couples Counselling (March 2023)
“Don’t think about it, just do it – you have absolutely nothing to lose and so, so much to gain about yourself, your partner and your relationship.”
– Couples Counselling (February 2022)
