Couples Counselling
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)
A trauma-informed, attachment-based approach to healing disconnecton and rebuilding trust.
Feeling disconnected, stuck in arguments, or like you’ve lost the closeness you once had?
You’re not alone. Many couples find themselves caught in repeating patterns, one person pulling away while the other reaches out, leaving both of you feeling unheard and alone.
What's involved
Initial Session
Start by booking an initial couples counselling session
This is a chance for both of you to share what’s been happening, and to get a sense of whether couples counselling feels like a supportive next step.
Once your initial session is booked, you’ll each also have a separate 20-minute individual call with me, included in the cost of the initial session. There’s no obligation to continue beyond this.
During the Sessions
We’ll take time to hear from both partners and to understand the ongoing patterns between you, the cycles that can develop over time and leave you feeling stuck, unheard, or disconnected.
Sessions are structured to support both of you to feel safe and heard, while we gently explore what’s happening beneath the conflict, including the emotions and protective responses shaping how you relate to one another.
My Approach
In couples therapy, we explore how emotional wounds and attachment patterns shape how you relate to one another. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-backed, attachment-based approach, I support couples to move from disconnection towards greater emotional closeness and safety..
Past pain can create patterns of mistrust, distance, or repeated conflict. Drawing on EFCT, I help you understand the emotions and nervous system responses behind these cycles.
Together, we focus on building emotional safety, improving communication, and creating new patterns so both partners feel heard, supported, and understood.

“Laura helped us hear each other on a deeper level.
Through her calm and compassionate approach, we began to really understand what each of us was feeling and what we actually needed underneath the arguments and silences. We heard things from each other that we’d never truly taken in before, and realised that our reactions weren’t about anger or rejection, but a longing for reassurance, love, and to know we weren’t alone.
The space Laura created helped us slow things down, feel safe enough to talk, and start to reconnect in a way we hadn’t for years.”
