Couples Counselling in Crewe
At Positive Minds Therapy, I also offer Couples Counselling to support partners who want to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and resolve ongoing difficulties. Sessions are available in person at Survive Counselling in Crewe.
Couples therapy provides a safe, supportive space where both partners can openly express their thoughts and emotions without judgment. It’s an opportunity to explore patterns within the relationship, understand each other’s needs more deeply, and learn practical strategies to reconnect and move forward together.
Whether you’re facing frequent conflict, trust issues, life transitions, or simply want to build a stronger emotional connection, couples counselling can help. Using evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and insights from CBT and the Gottman Method, I work collaboratively with both partners to:
Improve communication and emotional understanding
Manage conflict in a healthy and respectful way
Rebuild trust and intimacy
Identify unhelpful patterns and develop new ways of relating
Strengthen friendship and shared meaning within your relationship
Couples counselling is suitable for married and unmarried couples, same-sex partnerships, or any two people seeking to enhance their relationship.
If you’re ready to work together towards a more connected and fulfilling relationship, please get in touch to book your Couples Counselling session's held for both Nantwich and Crewe therapy centres.
Individual counselling sessions are for 1 hour and cost £60 per appointment.
Concessions for student counsellors at £45 per appointment.
Couples Counselling – £90 per 60-minute session (held in person at Survive Counselling, Crewe or Tealstone Therapy, Nantwich).

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, trauma, and various mental health conditions. It is goal-oriented and time-limited, with a strong emphasis on collaboration between therapist and client.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is a short-term, goal-focused therapeutic approach that emphasizes clients’ strengths and solutions rather than problems. It helps individuals identify and build on their existing resources to create positive change. Rather than exploring past difficulties, SFBT focuses on envisioning a preferred future and taking small, achievable steps toward it. It is particularly effective for individuals seeking practical, solution-driven support in a limited number of sessions.
NLP helps clients reframe negative thought patterns and behaviors, empowering them to achieve their goals. Timeline Therapy delves into past experiences to release emotional blockages, enabling healing and growth.
Sessions are £75 for 1 hour appointments.
Clinical Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals address a wide range of emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges.

I hold qualifications in auricular acupuncture, hypnobirthing, and hypnotherapy, which have provided me with a strong foundation in supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges.
In my journey to becoming a counsellor, I focus on a person-centred approach, ensuring that each client feels heard, valued, and supported. While I'm still in training, I'm committed to providing a compassionate and professional space for anyone seeking guidance.
As part of Positive Minds Therapy, I receive regular clinical supervision, attend ongoing mentor meetings, and hold full professional insurance, ensuring that all work is carried out to high ethical and professional standards.
Session cost: £25 for 50–60 minutes
Bookings can be made through the website contact page or via direct email.
