Couples Counselling
Support for couples wanting to strengthen connection, communication, and understanding, especially during times of change.
When your relationship feels out of sync
Finding your way back to connection
Every relationship goes through periods of change. You might be feeling disconnected, caught in the same arguments, or unsure how to support each other through stress, loss, and/or transition.
Many couples seek counselling during pregnancy, early parenthood, or after baby loss, as it can place a significant emotional load on a relationship. Roles may shift, communication can feel harder, and you might find yourselves reacting in ways that feel unfamiliar or unhelpful.
Couples counselling offers a space to slow down, understand what’s happening between you, and find ways to reconnect.
Together, we can explore how these changes are affecting you as individuals and as partners, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and find ways to support one another while staying connected during this period of change.
Support for couples at different stages of their relationship
How couples counselling can help
Communication + emotional distance
You might be experiencing more misunderstandings, frequent conflict, or emotional distance. Conversations can feel circular or charged, especially when stress, tiredness, and parenting demands leave little space to pause and reflect.
Counselling offers a space to slow things down, explore patterns of communication, and understand what each of you needs to feel heard, supported, and emotionally connected again.
Navigating change together
Pregnancy, early parenthood, fertility challenges, and/or loss can place a significant emotional load on relationships. Parenting responsibilities, lack of sleep, and differing expectations can all affect how you relate to one another.
Together, we can explore how these experiences are shaping your relationship, understand the pressures you’re under, and work towards supporting each other through change while maintaining connection.
Parenting challenges and differences
Parenting can highlight differences in values, expectations, or ways of responding to your child. These can lead to tension, resentment, or feeling misunderstood, and cause a distance you weren’t expecting.
In counselling, we can gently explore how parenting challenges are impacting your relationship, helping you communicate more openly, respect differences, and find ways to work together as a team.
If you’d like support to reflect on your own experiences, boundaries, or patterns within a relationship (including if your partner isn’t ready for couples work), you can find out more about about individual relationship counselling here.

NEXT STEPS
One step at a time
Relationships often change during pregnancy, early parenthood, and after loss. You may find yourselves feeling more distant, misunderstood, or unsure how to support each other in the way you once did.
You don’t need to know exactly what you want to say or where to begin. Counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and take this next step together in a way that feels steady and supportive.
