Couples Therapy & Psychotherapy in Sandbach, Cheshire and Online
Understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and find a way forward.
I'm Lavinia May, an NCPS registered psychotherapist with 14+ years of experience and specialist training in couples therapy. I work with couples and individuals to understand what's underneath their difficulties, not just the symptoms, and to build practical steps towards change.
My approach
-
Evidence-based psychotherapy to understand relationship and thought patterns
-
Practical, personalised strategies you can use between sessions
-
A warm, collaborative space where we set goals together and review what's helping
I specialise in
-
Couples therapy: understanding recurring patterns, rebuilding trust and reconnecting
-
Relationship counselling: communication breakdown, trust repair, intimacy, and life changes such as parenthood
-
Individual therapy: anxiety, stress, low mood, life transitions and self-esteem
Therapy works best as a shared effort. You don't need to have everything figured out to begin, just a willingness to explore what's happening and try something different. It isn't about quick fixes. It's about steady, meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
