Individual Therapy For Relationship Issues Online & In Manchester

Relationships have the power to heal old wounds - but also to press right against them.

You might be here because you're…

  • Tired of circling the same fights, roles, or fears, no matter how hard you try to do it differently.

  • Carrying grief over breakups, loss, or the love you hoped for but didn’t receive, and wanting space to lay it down and sort through it.

  • Tangled in family patterns that leave you hurt, unseen, or exhausted, trying to love them without losing yourself.

  • Burnt out by dating apps, longing for deeper, more authentic relationships but unsure how to trust or find them.

  • Struggling with intimacy, trauma, or attachment wounds - wanting to rebuild trust, reconnect with your body, or understand your needs and boundaries.

  • Navigating relationship anxiety, doubt, or constant reassurance-seeking, wanting to feel close and secure without losing yourself.

Where we might begin

    • Exploring how trust, closeness, and vulnerability feel in your body and relationships

    • Making sense of dating fatigue, breakups, divorce, or longing for deeper connection

    • Navigating shifts in sexuality, desire, or communication

    • Repairing after conflict, betrayal, affairs or disconnection

    • Building intimacy that feels mutual and safe

    • Untangling family roles, loyalty, or unspoken expectations

    • Naming the grief of ‘friendship break-ups’ or drifting apart

    • Facing grief around family - chosen or biological - and what’s been lost or withheld

    • Setting boundaries that protect you without losing the people you love

    • Tracing intergenerational patterns shaping how you love or belong

    • Exploring anxious, avoidant, or mixed attachment patterns

    • Unpacking survival strategies like fawning, over-adapting, or emotional withdrawal

    • Holding the tension between craving connection and fearing closeness

    • Building capacity for relationships that feel secure and spacious

    • Exploring who you are beneath roles, masks, or cultural expectations

    • Navigating neurodivergence, gender, sexuality, or cultural identity with more self-trust

    • Longing for spaces of belonging without shapeshifting or over-adapting

    • Practicing boundaries that honour your needs and values

    • Reclaiming permission to take up space in your own life

    • Grieving unmet needs, losses, or love you were denied

    • Unpacking shame tied to identity, worth, or past choices

    • Softening the voice of inner criticism or self-judgment

    • Imagining ways of being beyond survival or performance

Individual relationship therapy

My approach

I work relationally and collaboratively, meeting you as a whole person - not a set of problems to fix. My practice is rooted in person-centred and trauma-informed values, drawing on approaches like attachment work, parts work (IFS), somatic awareness, and compassion-based therapies.

I’m affirming across neurodivergence, gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity, holding space for the layered ways identity, culture, and systemic harm shape our lives. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you - slowing down where needed, making meaning, and gently expanding the capacity to be with yourself and others.

Your way of loving and surviving will never be pathologised here.
