Couples Therapy

At Excel Psychology we provide evidence-based therapy for couples who are experiencing challenges in their relationship. Humans are wired to bond with each other, and when these bonds are threatened by miscommunication, emotional misalignment or potential abandonment, it strikes us at a deep, vulnerable level. Given that relationships can build us up, encourage us to engage with the world knowing we have a safe base to return to, and positively influence our mental health, we innately wish to protect and nurture them. Therapy can help with this.

Facing relationship difficulties can be hard, and bringing such a personal, sensitive topic to therapy can be daunting. This is why we’ve carefully selected qualified, experienced and caring therapists to provide relationship therapy at Excel Psychology.

Hello, I’m Felix. I’m a Provisional Psychologist at Excel Psychology, and I’ve been a part of the team here for over ten years. I hold a Graduate Certificate of Mental Health Practice, a Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology (Advanced), and a Master of Professional Psychology.

In my role as a provisional psychologist, I work with both individuals and couples who are looking for support with

  • Anxiety, panic and phobias
  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Gender identity and sexuality
  • Grief, loss and life transitions
  • Interpersonal and relationship concerns
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Neurodivergence (ADHD and ASD)
  • Relationship difficulties (couples therapy)
  • Stress, burnout and difficulties with motivation

I centre my therapeutic practice on being my authentic self in every session and meeting each of my clients where they’re truly at. With warmth and empathy, I hope to create a safe therapeutic space, free of judgement, for each and every client.
