Our services

  • Adult Counselling & Psychotherapy

    Counselling encompasses all the things that can affect how we feel in life, from our health to our relationships and families. We are each affected by the world we live in and our unique circumstances that life has created.

    At Circle we strongly believe that it is important not to wait until you are in a crisis before you seek support. Many people reach crisis and do ask for help which we are so glad they did, but we are on a mission to encourage others to see counselling as a proactive space which is part of your whole wellbeing. Much like going to the gym helps your body and mind, counselling and psychological support helps both the mind and body.

    Low mood & Depression

    Our moods can change throughout our lives in response to events in life affecting us. You may be feeling out of sorts and noticing patterns like sleeping more or less, over or under eating, using substances like alcohol to cope with mood changes or avoiding contact with others or things that you used to enjoy.

    Our counselling sessions can begin to identify why you may be feeling the way you do and work together to make changes that will help your mood improve.

  • Relationship Counselling

    Couples seek our support for a range of reasons.

    Why Couples Seek Therapy?
    Couples often come to therapy when they feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. You may be experiencing:

    • Repeated conflict or arguments
    Where minor issues escalate quickly or communication feels tense or circular.

    • Emotional disconnection
    You may feel distant, lonely or like you’re living parallel lives.

    • Breakdowns in trust or betrayal
    Such as infidelity or breaches of emotional, physical or digital boundaries.

    • Intimacy changes
    Including reduced closeness, affection or sexual intimacy.

    • Life transitions and stress
    Parenthood, relocation, bereavement, illness, financial pressures or career changes can all strain a relationship.

    • Difficulty communicating needs
    Many couples struggle to express themselves without feeling dismissed, overwhelmed or misunderstood.

    Seeking therapy is not a sign that your relationship is failing—it is a proactive step toward strengthening and protecting it.


    How we Can Help
    We work collaboratively, guiding couples through a structured yet flexible therapeutic process tailored to their needs. Our approach helps you:

    • Understand the root of your difficulties
    We explore the deeper patterns and unmet needs driving conflict, withdrawal or disconnection.

    • Learn healthier communication
    We help you develop skills that promote empathy, curiosity and respect, enabling conversations that support connection rather than conflict.

    • Rebuild trust and security
    If there has been betrayal or life-changing challenges, therapy provides a safe space to process what happened, express emotions and rebuild the foundations of your relationship.

    • Strengthen intimacy and connection
    We work on emotional closeness, shared meaning and rebuilding a sense of partnership.

    • Navigate change with clarity
    Whether you’re repairing your relationship or considering next steps, we help you move forward with understanding, compassion and confidence.

    Our aim is to support you both in creating a relationship that feels balanced, supportive and fulfilling—one where each partner feels heard, understood and valued.
