Couple Therapy Dartford
Hello, my name is Samantha Gibson and I’m a fully qualified and experienced Relationship Counsellor, having trained with Relate 7 years ago. I’m also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I offer a warm, supportive and confidential counselling space, where you can feel safe to talk openly. I’ll be alongside you throughout the process, helping you explore what’s working well in your relationship and areas you want to positively improve.
Together, we will look at how to move away from unhelpful patterns and towards better communication and understanding. You won’t be judged or blamed, my role is to support you in building self-awareness and learning new, healthier ways of being in relationship.
I’ll help you manage conflict in ways that feel constructive rather than damaging, creating space for repair and growth. It’s time to break free from the negative cycles couples can get stuck in and find new ways to reconnect and feel united.
I look forward to guiding you safely through the counselling process. See you soon : -)

Background/Experience
I’ve enjoyed a long and rewarding career in helping professions. My journey began when I trained and volunteered as a Samaritan. It was here I developed my understanding of the power of listening and empathic support.
For over 20 years, I’ve also worked in primary and secondary schools, providing therapeutic support to children and their families. As a result, I have a strong foundation in understanding emotional regulation and development, family dynamics and the challenges people face at different life stages. It’s also cemented my belief in the importance of creating a safe, non-judgemental space where people feel truly heard, respected and supported to move towards positive change in their lives.
How I Can Help You
You are in safe hands. As trust builds between us, I’ll ensure the pace of each session feels right for you both.
Through therapy, you’ll develop greater self-awareness, which opens the door to new perspectives, choices, and ways forward in your relationship.
You will learn how to listen more effectively, not purely to your partner, but also to yourself. This deeper understanding fosters healthier communication and more thoughtful, non-defensive responses.
Improved communication skills will also help you to say how you feel and reconnect and validate one another in a meaningful way. Taking care of each other’s vulnerabilities and valuing differences will be part of the process.
You will be equipped with new tools to manage conflict positively, learning how to repair stored resentment so you can move forwards together without harbouring upset. How to rebuild trust and intimacy comes from the new emotional safety created.
