Struggling with relationship challenges?

You’re not alone. At some point, we all face difficulties in our relationships. Finding support in a safe, confidential space with a trusted relationship specialist can be the first step towards healing, growth and deeper connection.

Hello, I’m
Tess Reilly-Browne

As a trauma-informed relationship therapist, I specialise in helping individuals, couples and families rediscover connection, rebuild trust and nurture fulfilling, emotionally safe relationships. My approach as a relationship counsellor and coach begins with the most important relationship of all: the one you have with yourself.

With extensive experience and a compassionate, research-based approach, I’ve supported thousands of clients in transforming their relationships and creating the lives they’ve always dreamed of.

What Makes My Approach Unique?

I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals with Adult ADHD, particularly in the context of relationships. ADHD can often amplify communication struggles, emotional dysregulation and feelings of disconnection, but with the right tools and strategies, these challenges can be transformed into opportunities for growth and connection.

Additionally, I have extensive knowledge in relationship counselling and coaching, with a compassionate and informed approach to supporting clients with complex attachment trauma histories. These early relational wounds can profoundly impact how we connect with others, but through a safe and supportive therapeutic process, it is possible to heal and build healthier, more secure relationships.

By combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the principles of attachment theory, I’ve developed Tapping into Relationships — eft², a simple yet highly effective therapeutic method. This approach helps identify and address the deep-rooted patterns that often sabotage loving relationships, empowering you to create lasting change.

Flexible Therapy Options to Suit Your Needs

Whether we meet in my counselling room or connect through online video sessions, I’m here to support you every step of the way. As a trauma-informed relationship counsellor and coach, my goal is to help you feel safe, seen and supported, no matter what stage you’re at. Together, we’ll work to create the life and relationships you’ve been longing for.

Take the First Step Towards a More Authentic Future.
