It’s like a fairytale, everything is wonderful, and you both glow with happiness. Your friends might look at your relationship and wish they had the same kind of love.
During this time, every moment you spend together feels amazing, and you can’t imagine anything ever going wrong. But as time goes on, this exciting ‘in love’ feeling often changes. It turns into something deeper, a strong commitment that goes beyond just feeling ‘in love’.

We’ll explore how this change happens and share tips on how to make it work well. The goal is to have a happy and fulfilling marriage with your partner. So, let’s dive in and discover the secrets of long-lasting love and the wisdom of those who’ve gone from the early “in love” stage to a lifetime of love and commitment.

What some of my recent clients have said about our work together.
‘Paul has supported me through one of the most difficult emotional periods of my life. I fell in love with another man and I was struggling to get through the situation and make decisions, I felt guilty and I felt confused. I wanted to be true to myself but kind and considerate in the way I handled it.
I’m at the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in my life with my husband. Our marriage is stronger than ever and Paul has helped me understand a lot about love, feelings, needs and relationships. I have been true to myself and I have inner peace beyond all expectation.
Paul has also supported me in my loss for the man I developed feelings for and explained that grieving is a process.
He has been amazing, professional and never judgmental of this very tough journey that caused me so much angst. Forever grateful Paul.
To anyone out there who needs someone to support them, get in touch with Paul, reach out and form a helping relationship. It’s the biggest gift you can give to yourself.‘

‘I contacted Paul during my first relationship crisis, a major event for me as a mature woman divorced for 10 years with two grown children. Despite my typically strong character, I found myself in a mess when I decided to open up to a relationship after a decade.
To cut a long story short, I discovered the man I was dating online, was spending time with another woman local to him while claiming to be with his daughters.
At my lowest point, thinking I was truly in love for the first time, I turned to Paul for help. I was deeply sad, confused, and my emotional turmoil was affecting my family, friends, and even my professional life.
Through careful listening and exploration, Paul helped me connect my current feelings to a past experience from nearly 40 years ago. This revelation was a game-changer. Paul provided me with techniques to address the pedestal I had placed this man on.
I immediately started working on his suggestions, and the transformation within me was astonishing. I gained a new awareness that ensures I won’t let this happen to me again and look forward to a future with someone who truly values me.
The positive change I experienced amazed my family and friends who had watched me struggle for months. I’m immensely grateful to Paul, who has been a lifesaver and a true genius.‘
