Couples counseling in Room 1
Evening and Saturday sessions for two or more
Couples and family counseling for the argument that keeps coming back, the move, the new baby or the hard news. Both of you are heard, and nobody is taking sides.
How we work with two or more
Daniel and Leah trained in the Gottman method and emotionally focused therapy. Every couples and family session keeps the same three rules, whoever books it.
Session agreement
Ovel Counseling
Your therapist works for the relationship, not for whoever called first.
Early on, each partner has one session alone, so nothing has to be said in front of the other first.
Every session ends with one small thing to practise before the next. Never a pile of worksheets.

What couples and families bring
One of you says
The other says
“You never listen.”
“You never ask.”
“I said sorry. What else do you want?”
“To stop checking your phone.”
“We’re fine, just busy.”
“We live like roommates.”
“I’m doing everything.”
“So am I.”
“They’re my kids.”
“It’s my home too.”
“Just talk to us.”
“You’d only get angry.”
Heard yourselves on both sides? That is where the work starts.
