Wakeful Journey
Relationship support, one partner at a time
When a relationship feels tense or far away, it’s natural to want to fix it together. But often, the most powerful change begins with one person gently looking at what they bring into the room: the old fears, the protective habits, the reactions that feel bigger than the moment.
I support couples by working with each partner individually. As each of you shifts, the relationship shifts too.
This might be for you if…
- You feel anxious in your relationship: worrying, overthinking, needing reassurance
- Stress from work, family or a big life season is spilling into how you are together
- You keep reacting in ways you don’t like, and don’t know why
- You shut down, people-please or pull away when things get hard
- You want to work on yourself for your relationship, whether or not your partner joins in
How it works
Each of you has your own private sessions with me: hypnotherapy (RTT®), coaching, or both. In your sessions we explore where your patterns began (the beliefs about love, safety and worth you learned long ago) and gently update them.
Your mind isn’t broken. It’s protective. When those protective patterns soften, you tend to feel calmer, speak more honestly and listen more openly, and that naturally changes the space between you.
Both of you, or just you
Some couples both choose to work with me, each in their own sessions. Others start with one partner, and that’s completely okay. You don’t need your partner’s permission, or their participation, to begin feeling better in your relationship.
What you share in your sessions stays private. I don’t pass anything between partners.
How this differs from couples counselling
This isn’t couples counselling, and I don’t run joint sessions. If you’d like to work through things together in the room with a professional, a registered couples counsellor or therapist is the right fit, and my individual work can sit gently alongside that.
Sessions and prices
Each partner books their own sessions at the usual prices, online worldwide or in person in Salt Rock by arrangement. Start with a free 15-minute chat.
Gentle care note: If you’re experiencing violence, control or fear in your relationship, please reach out for specialist support. In South Africa, call the GBV Command Centre on 0800 428 428, or your local emergency number. Your safety comes first.
