A space to understand each other, not to be judged
Relationships are hard work, and every one of them hits difficult patches. Maybe you keep having the same argument, maybe you have started to feel more like flatmates than partners, or maybe something has happened that has shaken your trust. Wherever you are, you do not have to figure it out alone.
Relationship counselling gives you both a calm, confidential place to slow down, really hear one another, and understand what is going on underneath the surface. We will not take sides and we will not tell you what to do. We help you see your patterns clearly and give you practical tools to communicate, reconnect and decide what comes next, whatever that turns out to be.
Things we help couples and individuals work through
People come to us for all sorts of reasons. Some are in crisis, others just feel a bit stuck. There is no problem too small to bring.
Communication that keeps breaking down
When every conversation seems to turn into a row, or you have stopped talking altogether, we help you find a way back to each other.
The same argument, over and over
We help you spot the pattern underneath those repeating fights, so you can break the cycle instead of going round it again.
Rebuilding trust after a betrayal
After an affair or a broken trust, we give you a steady space to process the hurt and decide, honestly, whether and how to rebuild.
Drifting apart
When life, work and children have left you feeling distant, we help you find your way back to closeness and connection.
Big changes and new chapters
A new baby, a blended family, retirement or moving in together, we help you navigate the change as a team.
Thinking about separating
If you are not sure whether to stay or go, we give you a calm place to think it through, together or one-to-one.
Gentle, honest and at your pace
You both get heard
Our first job is to make sure each of you feels genuinely listened to. We keep things balanced and fair, so no one feels ganged up on or talked over.
Del and Sandra each have nearly two decades of experience, and a warm, no-nonsense Devon manner that puts people at ease quickly.
Practical tools, not just talking
Talking matters, but you will also leave with things you can actually use, ways to have difficult conversations, to repair after an argument, and to understand what your partner really needs.
We draw on several proven approaches and tailor them to you, because no two relationships are the same.
Couples or one-to-one, online or in person
You do not both have to come. Plenty of people work on their relationship on their own, and that can make a real difference too.
We see couples and individuals in person in Teignmouth, and online by video or WhatsApp from anywhere, whatever fits your life.
This might be the right step if…
Relationship counselling is for any two people who want to understand each other better, married, dating, living together, or family. And it is just as valuable on your own.

Relationship counselling, answered honestly
If something is on your mind before getting in touch, here are the things people most often ask us.
Do we both have to come?
No. It works brilliantly with both partners in the room, but plenty of people come on their own to work on how they relate to others, and it still makes a real difference to the relationship.
How many sessions will we need?
There is no fixed number. Some couples feel a shift in a handful of sessions; others value longer-term support. We will talk openly about what feels right for you, and you are never tied in.
Is it really confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us, within the usual professional and legal safeguarding limits, which we explain clearly at the start. We store any notes securely and in line with GDPR.
Can we do it online?
Absolutely. We work with couples and individuals over video and WhatsApp all over the UK and worldwide. Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa.
What if my partner will not come?
That is completely normal, and it is not a dead end. Come on your own, understanding and changing your own part in the dynamic often shifts things at home more than you would expect.
How do we start?
Book a free, no-pressure 15-minute call, or message us on WhatsApp. We will have a friendly chat, answer your questions, and you can decide in your own time whether it feels right.
Still have a question? We are happy to talk it through, with no pressure either way.
