Couples Therapy
“We are never so vulnerable as when we love.” – Sigmund Freud
Couples therapy honours this vulnerability and turns it into a path for closeness.
Couples Counselling & Therapy
Whether you’re preparing for a baby, already navigating parenthood, or facing other major life transitions, this journey can bring both joy and unexpected challenges to your relationship. It’s completely normal for couples to experience disconnection, conflict, or uncertainty at times. It’s how we relate to the difficult that makes the difference.
What matters most is not whether you experience these challenges, but how you support each other through them – and considering each other’s perspective.
Relationships are dynamic, alive, and always evolving. With compassionate, skilled and down-to-earth support, you can learn to navigate conflict with care, reconnect emotionally, and rediscover the strengths that bring wellbeing into your relationship.
We can help you stop:
- Feeling like you're constantly arguing and in cycles that spiral you down.
- Feeling disconnected, lonely or misunderstood by your partner
- Feeling like you're living parallel lives rather than as a team…
And start:
- Feeling heard, valued and understood by your partner
- Feeling connected emotionally and physically
- Feeling like you're on the same team, facing life's changes as partners
A space for care, reflection, and growth.
You don’t have to navigate this season of your relationship on your own. At The Mindful Birth Movement, we offer a safe, supportive space where both partners can share their experiences, feel each other’s feelings, explore patterns that keep you stuck, and develop new ways of relating that bring more understanding and warmth.
- Strengthen communication and interpersonal relating skills
- Recognise and express emotions safely
- Process needs, desires, boundaries, pain, grief, loss and confusion…
- Listen to each other with curiosity instead of defensiveness
- Slow down and understand how your past experiences affect you today.
- Rebuild safety, trust and intimacy
- Create shared meaning and resilience as a couple
You are the experts of your own relationship, and with the right support, you can move through challenges with greater confidence and connection. If you’re ready to take that next step together, we’re here to support you.

Couples Therapy with Erika
We want to support your relationship on this journey… because we know it might feel harder than it should.
We want to help you move past the disconnection, the repeated arguments, the feeling of being on different pages. We want to help you rediscover what brought you together in the first place and explore how you want to evolve.
We want to let you in on a little secret.
The difference between where you’re at now and getting to a place where you feel connected, understood and supported in your relationship, is taking the leap of faith and reaching out for support together.
Standing up and saying, ‘actually – we want more.’
Relationships go through hard times
We’ve been told a lie about relationships – that if it’s the “right” person, everything should just work, that you shouldn’t have to work at it, that conflict means something is wrong. We’ve been conditioned to believe these things, but they are unrealistic and unachievable…
