Individual Relationship Counselling
Sometimes the relationship struggle is happening with a partner. Sometimes it happens inside you, in the patterns you repeat, the way you lose yourself, the uncertainty you carry, or the questions you cannot seem to settle. Individual relationship counselling offers a thoughtful, confidential space to make sense of those patterns and move forward with greater clarity, steadiness, and self-understanding.
Who this is for
This work is for adults who want support with relationship patterns, self-worth in relationships, attachment-related patterns in adult life, intimacy blocks, post-breakup recovery, relational indecision, and emotional overwhelm linked to adult relationships and life transitions. It may also be helpful for people who feel stuck in confusing dynamics, repeat painful patterns, or struggle to understand why relationships leave them feeling unsettled, disconnected, or unsure of themselves.
Individual relationship counselling is available online for adults in Portugal, South Africa, and internationally. This may suit clients who want support with adult relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, boundaries, intimacy concerns, self-worth in relationships, post-breakup adjustment, or relationship clarity.
What this work can help with
Individual relationship counselling can help you understand recurring patterns more clearly, strengthen boundaries, make sense of emotional triggers, explore self-worth in relationships, and move through uncertainty with more steadiness. It can also support recovery after breakup, help clarify what you want from relationships, and create space for more honest reflection around intimacy, connection, and the choices in front of you.
How I approach this work
My approach is warm, reflective, and structured. I aim to offer a calm space where you can speak honestly about what feels painful, confusing, or stuck without being rushed or judged. Where it is helpful, the work also becomes practical, making patterns clearer, supporting stronger boundaries, and helping you move toward relationships that feel more grounded, respectful, and workable.
What this counselling is not about
The focus here stays within adult relationships, intimacy patterns, relational uncertainty, and the emotional impact of relationship experiences. Where concerns are broader or require a different kind of support, that should be named clearly rather than blurred.
For clients needing more general mental health support, psychiatric care, or trauma-specialist treatment, referral onward may be more appropriate. Counselling here can be deeply supportive, but it works best when the concerns fit the relational scope of the practice.
Single Session Option
For some people, it feels more natural to begin with a single session rather than a structured package. This option offers a calm, confidential space to explore what is happening in your relationship or intimate life without feeling pressured to commit to a longer process from the outset.
A single session can help you begin making sense of repeating patterns, emotional strain, uncertainty, or relational pain, while also creating space to consider what kind of support may be most helpful next.

Price
Session fee: €60
Fees are listed in euros. If you are based in South Africa or outside the Eurozone, you are welcome to contact me before booking to ask about payment options or the approximate fee in your local currency.
A structured support option
Some individuals find it helpful to begin with a more structured process rather than taking the work one session at a time. For this reason, an individual support package is also available. It is intended for those who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, hurt, or uncertain in their relationship or intimate life and would benefit from a steadier starting point.
Individual Counselling Package
The Individual Counselling Package includes 3 online individual counselling sessions and is designed to support those who want help making sense of relationship patterns, emotional strain, intimacy concerns, or uncertainty about the way forward. It offers a more contained beginning to the work, with space to reflect more deeply and approach things with greater clarity and steadiness.
What is included
-
3 online individual counselling sessions
-
written feedback after each session
-
brief check-ins between sessions where appropriate
-
selected reflection or support guides, depending on the focus of the work
Price
Package fee: €170
This may be a good fit for those who already know they would benefit from support across several sessions rather than starting with a once-off session.
A note on change
Insight matters, but insight alone is not always enough. Part of this work is noticing what keeps repeating, understanding why it makes sense, and slowly building a different way of relating to yourself and others.
