​​​​Person-Centred Counselling In Bexhill-On-Sea.

Couples Therapy
Couples therapy offers a supportive, confidential space for partners to explore what’s happening in their relationship and how it’s affecting them — individually and together.
People come to couples therapy at many different stages. Some want to strengthen their connection or improve communication; others are navigating periods of conflict, change, or uncertainty. Therapy can also be helpful following a relationship breakdown, particularly where children, shared finances, or ongoing contact are involved.

Couples seek therapy for many reasons, including:
ongoing conflict or repeated patterns
difficulties with communication
health issues or major life changes
differences in values, roles, or expectations
parenting challenges
intimacy or sexual concerns
external pressures such as work, stress, or finances

You don’t need to be at breaking point to attend couples therapy — and you don’t need to know exactly what you want the outcome to be.

How I work with couples
My role is not to judge, take sides, or decide what the “right” outcome should be for you. I don’t work to keep couples together at all costs, nor do I push towards separation.
Instead, I offer a neutral, person-centred space where both partners have time to speak, be heard, and feel understood. I work to ensure that each person can express themselves without interruption, and that neither voice dominates the room.
If at any point you feel that I’m leaning towards one perspective over another, I encourage you to say so. Open conversation about the process is an important part of the work.
Sessions are guided by the couple rather than directed by me. We may use talking, reflection, or gentle activities depending on what feels most helpful. The focus is on understanding what’s happening between you, rather than assigning blame.

Experience:
I have worked with over 40 couples and hold specific training in couples counselling. My work is grounded in a person-centred approach, allowing space for complexity, difference, and emotional safety.

Couples Counselling Testomonials:

2025:

"Me and my husband had a really positive experience with couples counselling and are very grateful for the support we received. From our first session, Lucy made us feel comfortable, respected, and at ease, creating a safe and welcoming environment to talk openly. She was warm, professional, and highly insightful, guiding us with care and understanding. The sessions were extremely helpful and gave us valuable tools that have made a real difference to our relationship. We would not hesitate to recommend her to other couples seeking support.  Thank you so much Lucy we really appreciate everything you have done for us."

"We met with Lucy after my husband had upset our marriage. We started weekly sessions where I felt safe enough to cry, talk and express how I felt. Lucy understood where I was coming from and how to express it back to my husband. She would never take sides and both parties were equal in the conversation, teaching us as a couple how to communicate. We got less and less appointments and followed Lucy's advice and now I am back home with my husband working on our communication. Highly recommend, kind caring person and easy to talk to."
