Professional Help Available Today…
Hello, I’m Nicholas Purcell a professional psychotherapist specialising in online couples crisis counseling.
When your relationship is in crisis, every hour matters. Just like a medical emergency requires immediate care, relationship trauma needs urgent professional intervention. While traditional counseling can take weeks or months to begin, I specialize in zoom-based immediate crisis response for couples facing acute relationship emergencies. Our goal is to limit the damage done before you can get in to see your local therapist.
When Your Relationship is Bleeding Trust, Every Minute Counts…
Crisis
Why Immediate Intervention Matters
Research shows that how couples handle the first days of a relationship crisis can determine their long-term outcome. Just as emergency medical care prevents further injury, early professional intervention can:
Prevent destructive patterns from becoming entrenched
Provide a structured environment for crucial conversations
Help you make informed decisions rather than reactive choices
Create a foundation for healing and recovery
Every hour counts…
Unlike traditional counseling services with long waiting lists, I offer:
Same-day or next-day crisis sessions
Sessions via Zoom
Extended emergency appointments
Proven crisis intervention techniques
Immediate action planning until your local counsellor can see you
2 hour crisis sessions cost USD$450

Relationship counseling issues I work with regularly
-
Affairs/Infidelity
Infidelity can be devastating but it is possible to heal, grow and develop from an affair. Following a scientifically based process you will arrive at a point where you can feel better and make an informed decision about whether to leave or rebuild your relationship.
-
Conflict issues
No one teaches us how to fight. Conflict is inevitable between any two people who spend long enough together. We work together on working out how to fight fair, with kindness and consideration for your partner.
-
Trust issues
Trust is fragile and easily broken. Over time reduced trust can compound and create friction and tension within a relationship. We will work together to recreate trust.
-
Intimacy issues
Sex and intimacy in long term relationships are frequently a point of disagreement, frustration, conflict and disappointment. In a practical way intimacy can be reestablished through greater understanding, communication and planning. It sounds unsexy but it works.
-
Should I stay or go?
There are many reasons you may be considering leaving a relationship but feeling uncertain. We can work through your feelings, understand why you are stuck and gain a new perspective that helps you decide.
-
Attachment issues
Attachment Theory is a key way to understanding many relationship issues and gain a new understanding of the dynamics present in your relationship.
-
Jealousy
Jealousy left unchecked has the potential to ruin a relationship. We can work together to understand and limit the effects of jealousy in your relationship.
-
Codependency
Insecurities in two individuals can lead to the creation of a codependent relationship. We can work through and understand how this impacts you and gain a new understanding of your relationship.
-
Commitment issues
There are many reasons why someone may be fearful of committing to another, but when that fear is too present it can remove your ability to make a decision. We can work to better understand these fears and reduce their hold over you.
-
Loneliness
When relationships promise companionship but we still end up lonely it can be particularly painful. Understanding and taking steps to overcome loneliness in your relationship is possible.
-
Narcissism
Almost universally considered a bad thing, narcissism has some benefits. We can understand both the pros and cons of being in a relationship with a narcissist.
-
Premarital counselling
There’s really so much more going on in relationships than our culture (particularly Disney) tells us. Premarital counselling can be a good way to really start to understand your partner at a deeper level.
What clients said
-
“I have moved from feeling like I would never recover from my husband’s affair to moments of thinking maybe we can make this work. I didn’t think even that would be possible. Nicholas has helped us a lot.”
CB & KB
-
“Nicholas offers real, practical help. We were stuck with our former therapist and it felt like nothing was working. I was starting to feel we would not be able to make our marriage work. Nicholas approached the issues from a totally different angle which enabled us to finally understand not only why we were stuck but some of key underlying issues in the relationship. We still have more work to do but things are finally moving and I’m feeling hopeful again.”
KT & RT
-
"Sensible and knowledgable, with a great ability to put one at ease. I felt listened to without judgement and I have started to understand why my husband and I could not resolve our problems."
JM & BW
-
"We saw another counsellor who told me I was solely at fault for everything that wasn’t working in my marriage. I was devastated. Nicholas quickly corrected that idea and we are finally making actual progress."
BM & SG
-
"We only saw Nicholas for one session because in that one session he help my husband say something which completely changed my understanding of my husband and our difficulty in connecting. We left his office that day and hugged each other for minutes. We have a new understanding of each other. I am so grateful."
JK & HK
-
"I needed some help in understanding why I was feeling so anxious and uncertain about my husband. Nicholas was very kind and helped me gain a new understanding of what was underlying my concerns."
