Two Hearts, One Journey
Guiding Couples Towards a Stronger, More Loving Partnership
Strengthen Your Relationship by Discovering Deeper Understanding and Compassion
Couples seek professional support for three main reasons.
Some couples are at a crossroad in their present situation. They need to make a decision but can’t reach an agreement (have children, relocate to another country, stay together or even divorce).
Others have already made the decision to separate. However, despite their best efforts to keep their communication friendly, they seem to be caught in a negative cycle of interaction. They can’t agree on logistics of separation and seek the help of a counsellor to help them hear and understand each other.
The third reason is because couples are stuck. Most partners who seek Couples Therapy want to stay together. However, they are often stuck in a negative pattern of blame/blame interaction: “I’ll change when you change” and see each other as the enemy rather than the person who is longing to be with them.
Whether your relationship is in a status quo and you need to make changes, whether you have already decided to separate and need to meet in understanding and agreement or whether you are longing to be together but you are grappling with trust issues, communication breakdowns, or conflicts related to sex and intimacy, Couples Therapy provides guidance, support, and a safe space to work through these challenges.
Together, we will create a collaborative and non-judgmental environment where your voice will be heard, understood, and you will be empowered to take the necessary steps to strengthen your relationship. Tailoring our approach to your unique needs and goals, I will work alongside you to develop a customised plan that supports your journey towards a more fulfilling and joyful partnership.
Some common issues that I work with include:
- Communication Breakdown
- Conflicts
- Infidelity & Breach of Trust
- Emotional Disconnection
- Physical Disconnection
- Addiction
- Parenting Stress
- Ambivalence about the Relationship
- Separation/Divorce
- Pre-marital Counselling

I provide Mental Health & Relationship Coaching to support couples or individuals, families or groups/teams.

No, I work with any type of committed relationship, including dating, engaged, cohabiting, or married couples. My clients come from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds too. The focus is on improving the quality of the relationship and resolving conflicts.
Clients consult when they are facing challenges or conflicts that they cannot resolve on their own. Common reasons include communication problems, infidelity, trust issues, intimacy concerns, and frequent arguments. I also see couples who want to strengthen their relationship prior to getting married or clients who want to separate but don’t agree on the logistics nor parenting issues.
During the first session, partners help me understand their current situation, their relationship history and how they've arrived where they are today. During subsequent sessions, partners uncover what they subconsciously bring to their relationship. I support them in their transformation goals. Gradually partners transform and connect emotionally. The goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for open emotional communication: 'The key to forever lasting change'. I follow a Structured Roadmap to Couple Counselling which is inspired by my extensive training in Couple Therapy.
The duration of our work varies depending on the complexity of the issues and the progress made. I have worked with couples who have seen improvement in a few sessions, and others who have benefited from longer term therapy. Some clients prefer to choose pay-as-you-go sessions, whereas others choose the commitment of a 6-Sessions Package.
If one of you is ambivalent about the relationship, we would work with Discernment Counselling (DC) so that you and your partner have the space to discuss your concerns. DC helps couples decide to 1. Stay in the Status Quo; 2. Quit the relationship or 3. Start Couple Therapy.
Couple therapy can be highly effective, but there are no guarantees. Success depends on the willingness of both partners to engage in the process, the severity of the issues, and the compatibility of the couple. It's essential to approach couple therapy with an open mind and a commitment to working on your relationship.
