Camyla | Couples Therapist

Introduction

--- ONLINE THERAPY ONLY ---


Hello and welcome—I’m Camyla, and I’m really glad you’ve found your way here. 

I offer therapy exclusively online, creating a reflective and collaborative space for couples. We focus on what happens between you in the moment—slowing things down and supporting you to respond with greater awareness and less reactivity.

 

 

 

How I work

I am a pluralistic therapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor the work collaboratively with you, rather than following a single fixed model or way of working.

In my work with couples, I am particularly guided by the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model, which helps us understand where you are in your relationship development and what may be contributing to a sense of stuckness or transition.

We focus closely on what is happening between you in the room, alongside how each partner is developing within the relationship. Together, we slow things down at the moments where familiar patterns take over—often when you feel stuck, reactive, or distant—and begin to notice what sits underneath these responses.

My aim is to offer a steady, respectful space where you can slow things down, feel heard, and understand your relationship more clearly.

Relationship Counselling

Relationships often bring us into contact with the places where we feel most sensitive, reactive, and longing for connection.

I work with couples experiencing conflict in their relationship, where patterns of disagreement feel repetitive or hard to shift. These moments can leave you feeling stuck in cycles of escalation or withdrawal, and together we begin to slow things down and understand what is happening underneath these reactions.

I also support couples navigating intimacy and sexual connection, including times when closeness feels difficult, desire feels mismatched, or where emotional and physical connection has become strained or uncertain.

Communication difficulties are often at the heart of relational distress. This can look like misunderstandings, defensiveness, or feeling unheard. In our work, we explore new ways of speaking and listening that allow conversations to feel safer, clearer, and more responsive.

Many couples come wanting to deepen their emotional connection, especially when they feel more like strangers or housemates than partners. We explore what creates distance and what might support a greater sense of understanding, attunement, and closeness.

I also work with infidelity and affairs, where trust has been impacted and the relationship feels uncertain. In these situations, we make space to understand what has happened, what it means for each of you, and what feels possible moving forward—whether that is repair, rebuilding, or finding a clearer path apart. 

 

 

About me

I am drawn to supporting people in making sense of their relationships and moving toward more connected ways of being with one another. I believe meaningful change becomes possible through awareness, curiosity, and a willingness to engage differently with familiar patterns.

Clients often describe me as warm and grounded, as well as clear and appropriately challenging when needed.

Alongside my work in psychotherapy, my background in the arts, including therapeutic arts and fashion, informs how I understand people and relationships—particularly around expression, embodiment, and meaning beyond words.

My upbringing in Eastern Europe also shapes how I sit with people in the therapy room. It has given me a lived understanding of culture, identity, migration, and belonging, and how these can quietly shape the way we relate to ourselves and others.

 

I am mindful of what it can mean to move between cultures or adapt to new environments, and the importance of feeling seen and understood within that. Having lived in the UK for the past 20 years, and working with clients globally, I bring a broad and culturally attuned perspective to my work, with sensitivity to the different contexts people are navigating in their lives and relationships.
