Couple and Relationship Counselling Therapy
Couple therapy, you love each other, something still is not working
You love each other. You are also exhausted by each other.
The same argument. The same silence. The feeling that you are sharing a life but no longer quite sharing it with each other.
You are not failing, you are running two different operating systems, and nobody handed either of you a manual.
​
This space is for you.
Whether you are neurodivergent, LGBT, or building a life across two cultures and two emotional languages, couples therapy at Unique Conversations offers something most relationships never get: a room where both of you are genuinely heard.
​
ADHD brings structural challenges that are easy to mistake for personal failures. The forgotten agreements. The emotional flooding that turns a small disagreement into an event. One partner feeling perpetually deprioritised, not because they are unloved, but because their partner's brain genuinely works differently.
Research by Wymbs and colleagues (2008) found that adults with ADHD experience significantly higher rates of relationship dissatisfaction than neurotypical peers. That statistic has a human cost, and it is not inevitable.
​
LGBT couples carry minority stress that does not stay politely outside the front door.
Francophone expats are negotiating intimacy across two cultures with entirely different ideas about what love, conflict, and a proper Sunday lunch are supposed to look like.
​
The British might suggest a cup of tea and a brisk walk. The French would recommend a long lunch and a firm conversation. Neither approach, it turns out, is sufficient.
​
What changes.
The Gottman Institute's research shows that breakdown is rarely about conflict itself. It is about the patterns conflict creates. Those patterns are learnable and unlearnable.
Sessions address communication, trust, intimacy, conflict, and the transitions that shake even strong relationships: parenthood, coming out, relocation, loss. Some couples arrive to rebuild. Some arrive to end with honesty and dignity rather than damage. Both are valid reasons to come.
​
Why Unique Conversations.
Claire is Franco-British, bilingual, and a qualified counsellor and life coach who has spent her career working at the intersections most therapists step around. She will not ask you to leave half of yourselves at the door. Sessions are available in English and French, in person in Wigan and Altricham, and online.
​
The first message is the hardest part.
