These free therapeutic tools and exercises are here for you to use whenever you need them. Some are for couples wanting to communicate better, some for individuals reflecting on their own lives, and some for parents and children finding words for big feelings. Nothing you enter is saved, and none of them need a sign-up.
For couples
Window of Tolerance check-in Before you try to talk something through, it helps to know where you both are. A quick check-in for each of you, with practical guidance on what your combined states mean for connecting right now.
Clean Feedback A guided way to tell your partner how something affected you, layer by layer, without mixing up what actually happened with what you made it mean.
Coming Home to Each Other What do you each need at the end of the day? A short exercise for couples whose evenings keep missing each other.
Couples Connection Five short exercises to bring you back towards each other. Good for busy weeks when a longer conversation isn’t realistic.
Together and Connected (allow 20 to 30 minutes) A guided exercise for slowing down together and remembering what it feels like to be on the same side.
Pause and Listen (allow about 20 minutes) For the moments after a row, when you’re both still raw. A structured way to settle, take turns, and feel heard, before anyone tries to fix anything.
Couples Dialogue Wheel (allow 30 to 40 minutes) A structured conversation for the things you never quite find the right moment to say. One of you speaks through a series of sentence openers while the other listens, then you swap.
For individuals
Your Strengths A calming exercise that helps you find the three strength words that feel most honestly yours, finishing with an image you can keep.
Dream Exploration Choose a thread from a recent dream and follow it through eight reflective questions, paying attention to the feelings it carries rather than hunting for meanings.
A Question Deck for Men Twenty questions about being a man, drawn one at a time. Use it alone, with a friend, or to get a men’s group talking. There are no right answers; the point is the conversation.
Reflect and Return A structured guide to using AI for reflection between counselling sessions, with clear boundaries so it supports your therapy rather than replacing it.
For parents and children
The Animal Ladder When children act out or go quiet, it’s often their way of showing they don’t feel safe. This guide uses animals to help parents and children name what’s happening in their bodies and find their way back to feeling settled.
Feeling Explorer A three-step activity where children pick a picture that matches how they feel, show where it lives in their body, and draw it; best done side by side with a parent.
These tools are designed to support reflection and connection; they’re not a substitute for counselling. If something comes up that you’d like to talk through, you’re welcome to get in touch or book a free introductory call. I’m an accredited registrant of the NCPS, working online and in Bude, Cornwall.
