Has sexual intimacy in your relationship become a problem?
Maybe you still love each other but feel more like roommates. Perhaps one of you craves sexual intimacy and the other avoids it. Conversations about intimacy end in defensiveness or silence because one of you feels pressured and the other frustrated and resentful. Maybe you’ve started to wonder if this is it forever.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

What our Couples Say
“Laura was our last hope as a couple. We were in such a bad place that we even fought on the way to our first session. Communication felt impossible. Laura met us in that space and helped us rebuild it. We now leave sessions feeling hopeful, understood, and more connected than we thought possible.”
Susan
“Initially we considered Laura to be our couples counsellor from the reviews, then after meeting with Laura for an initial chat, we knew that Laura would be our choice, based on how she just got what was going on for us so quickly and what needed to change for us to move forward in our relationship.”
Julie
“Couples counselling with Laura exceeded our expectations. She guided us with warmth, honesty, and empathy. We felt supported but also challenged in the right ways. The changes we made have strengthened our relationship, and we are truly grateful for the experience.”
Yanka
“When sex is avoided, the stress of its absence dominates a marriage. When it is embraced, it takes its natural place — fuelling the relationship rather than creating drag and tension.”
