Helping Couples, Co-Parents, Step-Parents & Individuals Build Stronger Relationships — One Step at a Time 

Whether you’re in a committed relationship, co-parenting after separation, navigating step-family life, or seeking personal clarity as a single person — you’re not alone.  

I’m Veronika Durham, a relationship therapist using the Gottman Method, a research-based approach proven to strengthen emotional connection, resolve conflict, and create lasting change. 

Your relationships can get better, and it starts with support. 

I help people communicate better, resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and reconnect with the people they care about most. 

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Together, we can create a healthier path forward. 

Book a 20-minute Complimentary Session: We’ll explore the issues you would like to deal with or where you need support.  

 I work with most of my clients over the phone and via video calls. You can have your session in pyjamas, during your lunch break or even in a quiet coffee shop if you need privacy from your partner or family  

Packages & Prices: You can choose from a range of packages, ranging from one one-hour session to packages that offer continual support for 3 to 12 months.  Prices start from £40.  

Invite Your Partner: You can invite your partner for one session for no extra charge. 

Support In Between: You’re welcome to send me an email in between sessions if you’re dealing with something urgent, which can’t wait until the next session. One quick conversation can help you to be powerful and get ‘unstuck’. 

About me 

I moved to the UK in 2008 from the Czech Republic, knowing only a few words in English. Somehow, I managed not to go back to the safety of my home town and made my life here. My first business adventure was being a nutritional consultant, but soon I noticed how profoundly our relationships impact our diet, lifestyle and mindset about taking care of ourselves. After a few years, I moved into relationship therapy. I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples feel heard, seen and understood.  

My past relationships were rather questionable. But I don’t regret any of them. I learnt a great deal from each of my disasters. I’ve been with my husband for nearly ten years and it has been a rollercoaster ride. Being the second wife and stepmum was extremely difficult, but you can find out more about my journey in my older podcast episodes and blog. 

I Got That Wrong podcast was previously known as The Step In Mum. It was the very first UK podcast for stepmums that I started in 2019. I connected with stepmums from all over the world and it helped me to understand how our problems are the same. 

The Step in Mum and my journey was an eye-opener that stepchildren and exes are not the biggest problems of relationships. Yes, they can put extreme pressure on people, but it’s on the couple how they will handle it. For me, it meant building a solid foundation for our relationship with my husband. Honestly, we had to do it a few times. It’s a natural process, especially if life throws at you a lot. I’m a proud mum to a little boy, I’ve been sober for four years and I’m planning to learn Italian so I can retire there one day.
