Couples & Relationship Counselling

Strengthen communication, rebuild trust and feel like a team again, in English or Farsi.

Is This You?

Every relationship goes through hard seasons. Repeated arguments, distance, or a breach of trust can leave both partners feeling unheard and stuck. Counselling offers a neutral space to slow down and understand each other again.

​

Couples often come to me for:

• Communication that turns into conflict or silence

• Rebuilding trust after infidelity or broken promises

• Feeling disconnected or more like roommates

• Stress from parenting, in-laws, finances or major life changes

• Navigating cultural or generational differences in expectations

• Deciding together about the future of the relationship

How I Can Help

Using Emotion-Focused Therapy and other evidence-based approaches, I help you both recognize the patterns that keep you stuck and understand the needs underneath them. You'll practise new ways to talk, listen and repair, so you can respond to each other with more care. I also support individuals working through relationship difficulties on their own.

​

What to expect: In early sessions I meet with you together, and sometimes individually, to understand each person's view. Sessions are available in English and Farsi, in person or online.
