Think of Coupld like a gym for your relationship, minus the sweating.

The benefits of a happy relationship are obvious, right? They make us, well, happier. But like all things we care about, they sometimes need a bit of attention to stay in the best condition. And that’s where I can help.

By combining the leading insights in relationship science and positive psychology with coaching practices, my services have been designed to keep your relationship in tip-top shape. A bit like working out with a qualified personal trainer - but more fun and fewer squats.

Would you, and your partner, like to…

 

1

…Feel More Like A Team?

We’ll focus on the positives to boost those appreciation levels. And with small, consistent improvements over time, your relationship will become a stronger partnership.

2

…Deepen Your Understanding?

Understanding, and feeling understood, is key to a fulfilling relationship. This is where ‘tandem self-discovery’ comes in. Learn more about yourself, alongside your partner, for an injection of fresh ideas and new perspectives.

 

3

…Inject Some Novelty?

It’s all too easy to spend days, weeks, or even months only chatting about the housework and what to eat for dinner. My services are here to change that. You’ll have conversations you never thought you would - and learn things you never thought you could.

4

…Get On The Same Page?

Let’s elevate your relational awareness so that you both have more clarity over your patterns and behaviours. This makes unconscious relationship dynamics more, well, conscious, and gives you a shared language to talk about them with ease.

 

Then Coupld is for you.

Hi there, I’m Ellie.

And I’m your relationship PT.

I’m passionate about understanding people. And at the heart of what makes us human is our ability to create rich personal relationships. It’s a topic I find endlessly fascinating. Which explains why my skills and experiences have led me here.

I have a master's degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of Oxford, a counselling certificate from The Minster Centre in London and I trained and qualified in Transformational Coaching at Animas Centre, the leading coaching school in London. I’m also working on my Positive Psychology Practitioner Certificate.

My goal was to create relationship services that feel fun and relaxed, but genuinely meaningful and scientific. An easy way for couples to invest in them, that feels exciting and a bit novel too. I fundamentally believe in the importance of fulfilling relationships, yet it can be all too easy to slide through life together. I want to put a stop to that. So, Coupld was born.

Post-Baby Relationship Recovery

Life with children is… FULL! So let’s make sure you can still find the space for one another too.

It’s full of love and joy, tears and tantrums... It can be all-consuming. So it’s no surprise that often there’s little left to give after the kids are in bed. There’s less time to connect, as a two. There’s more time spent talking about admin.

Through group coaching and private sessions, give your relationship back the attention it deserves.

Pre-Baby Relationship Bootcamp

Raising kids is the most exciting, fulfilling and challenging thing a relationship can go through.

And, with a bit of preparation, I know you can navigate the rollercoaster of parenthood with more empathy, understanding, love and connectedness; keeping your relationship strong and supple for years to come.

This online group course gives you the tools you’ll need to flourish on the bumpy ride ahead.

The Coupld Membership

Get access to one of a kind 1:2 ‘workout sessions’, plus activities to keep you thriving as a couple in between. The monthly subscription service takes you on a year long journey of discovery, understanding and appreciation. And it’ll ensure your relationship never falls to the bottom of the priority list.

Approach

Long-term

Let's face it, happy relationships don't just happen by chance. It takes consistent work - kind of like staying fit. Even though we might be in great shape right now, if we start neglecting things, we'll soon notice the difference. That's why Coupld takes a long-term approach. Because we all want our relationships to be marathons, not sprints, right?

Bespoke

Every relationship is different. That's why each couple needs a personalised approach. As well as covering the basics, we'll create a perfectly tailored selection of sessions, with room for flexibility too. Because stuff crops up and things change. But one thing you can be sure of is that we’ll get the most out of your dedicated time together.

Inspired By Science

You don't need a psychologist to tell you that a stable, loving and fulfilling relationship can have a huge impact on your happiness and health. But what practical steps do you need to take? Coupld is driven by the results of empirical research studies that tell us how to improve relationship quality and satisfaction. With lasting effect too.

Laid-back

The sessions are designed to be informal and enjoyable, without compromising on impact. Be prepared to laugh (often at yourselves)... But be prepared to tackle the important stuff too. When therapy feels too extreme, Coupld is the accessible, empowering and fun alternative.

Your coupld MEMBERSHIP journey

The totally unique, coach-led sessions give you all the tools for relationship maintenance. That’s because they’ve been designed using the most compelling findings from relationship research. Each live ‘work-out’ includes tasks and exercises that work to deepen your connection…

Let’s start here

Firstly we’ll work on recognising what you already have. You’ll be reminded of why you first fell in love, admire what makes your partner unique and explore what you’re getting right. The first few work-out sessions are all about making sure you’re feeling really loved-up.

DIG A LITTLE DEEPER

Then we start to tackle some of the thornier topics. We’ll explore where your challenges lie, if there’s anything going on beneath the surface, and how you’re going to deal with it together.

get specific

Now we’ve got a solid foundation, we can open up the floor to your personalised conversation topics. These sessions are directed by you, but prompted and held by me. We can cover things like money, children, careers, housework or anything else you think deserves a good ol’ discussion.

A secure future

With all the small steps and consistent work you’ve been putting in, it’s time to think about where your thriving relationship can take you - because now you’re ready to weather any storm. Our monthly ‘work-out sessions’ drop down to quarterly ‘health checks’ to make sure you stay on track.

Testimonials
Simone

“The sessions themselves are great fun. The best part has been the discussions they prompt & how often we now find they actually come up in day to day life. Along with the exercises to do at home, it’s been a lovely balance of fun & lighthearted mixed with deep & meaningful. We recommend Coupld to all our friends - at any stage of relationship. Even 10 years in we’re learning something new.”

“I love doing the Coupld Membership. The live sessions and accountability from Ellie have been the most beneficial part.

Our chats are also an amazing touch. The personalised messages are always on point. Overall it’s fun, insightful and inspiring!”

“There’s so much emphasis on marriage and the happily-ever-after, or divorce and the breakdown of relationships, but nothing in the middle. I want to be part of that movement. To break the stigma surrounding relationship support and get everyone working proactively on maintaining their partnerships.”

FAQs

  • I am so confident you’ll love it (based on previous experience of how long my clients stick around for) - so I don’t prescribe a minimum commitment. This makes trying it really low risk!

    I recommend you keep it up for the first four months, as that’s about how long it takes to really notice the impact. But there’ll be no hard feelings whenever you decide to cancel. It has to work for everyone to be a success.

    That’s why trying a mini session is so important. It gives us all a chance to find out if it’s the right match.

  • Absolutely! One study actually found that the longer we’re together, the worse we are at guessing our partner's thoughts! The psychologists suggested this was because we tend to (often wrongly) assume we know our partner inside out. So, you might surprise yourselves in some of the discovery activities!

    It's also common for pressures to build as you progress through life together: more demanding careers, a growing family, ageing parents etc. So often this means your relationship falls to the bottom of the priority list.

    To quote Albus Dumbledore, 'Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.'

  • It's totally normal to go through highs and lows in your relationship. At times you might even question whether you still want to be together. If you've decided you do and you're invested in making your relationship work, Coupld might be just what you need. Try a taster session for free and you can discuss your unique situation with me properly.

    However, as Coupld is all about maintenance and future-proofing, it's not the right solution for you if you’re in the midst of a crisis. There's no replacement for counselling or therapy if you're experiencing serious issues, such as infidelity or domestic violence (to name only a few).

    That being said, if you’re working with a couple’s therapist and getting the qualified support you need for your specific challenges, Coupld’s structured, yet relaxed and lighthearted approach, could offer your relationship an extra dose of TLC. But please bear in mind, this would be something you’d need to discuss with your therapist first!

  • For the time being, all sessions will take place over Zoom video calls.

  • I work with couples all over the world and everybody has their own preferences, from early morning, lunch breaks or evenings. I'm on GMT / BST time, so that's the only limitation. But get in contact if you need something specific and we can figure it out.
