You want a relationship that reflects your values, not just one that functions. But wanting that doesn't make it easy. Christian couples face the same conflict patterns, emotional distance, and communication breakdowns as anyone else, and sometimes the pressure to "get it right" because of your faith makes it harder to ask for help.
This is a space where your faith is not set aside or merely tolerated. It is taken seriously, alongside the psychological realities of how two people actually connect, disconnect, and find their way back to each other.
• You feel the weight of wanting your marriage to honour God, but you're not sure it does right now
• Conflict in your relationship leaves you feeling ashamed as well as hurt
• You've been told to pray more, but the same patterns keep repeating
• You want support that won't ask you to choose between your faith and good psychology
• You feel emotionally disconnected from your partner, even though you're committed
If any of this resonates, you're in the right place.
Christian couples counselling may explore:
• Integrating faith into how you navigate conflict and repair
• Healing after infidelity or betrayal, within a framework of grace and accountability
• Sexual intimacy and connection within a Christian understanding of marriage
• Emotional and spiritual disconnection
• Communication that reflects both psychological health and your shared values
My approach draws on the Gottman Method and attachment theory, grounded in evidence-based research, while remaining sensitive to the Christian framework you bring to your relationship. Good psychology and sincere faith are not in conflict. They work togethe
Phase 1 - Assessment
1. First couples session together (75-80 minutes)
2. Two individual sessions, one for each partner (45-50 minutes each)
3. The Gottman Relationship Assessment, a research-based tool that maps your strengths and growth areas
Phase 2 - Feedback and Intervention
4. Feedback session where we agree on a clear direction together (75-80 minutes)
5. Ongoing sessions tailored to your specific needs and goals
This structure means we don't waste time. From the first session, we're building toward something real.

Most couples say the same thing after counselling: they wish they had done it sooner.
