Special Guest Event with Lottie Passell-Syms: Couples 101

We’re thrilled to welcome Lottie Passell-Syms, a renowned Psychosexual and Relationship Specialist, to The Counsellors Space for a morning designed to inspire, challenge, and elevate your therapeutic practice.

With over 25 years of clinical experience, Lottie is known for her clear, steady leadership and her unique ability to challenge both clients and practitioners with precision, empathy, and compassion. Her work helps couples and individuals rethink entrenched patterns, rebuild intimacy, and navigate the complex space between conflict and connection.

A respected leader in the field, Lottie trains and supervises therapists to work with rigour, courage, and emotional honesty, always holding high standards while nurturing growth. Alongside co-leading a thriving psychosexual and relationship clinic, she directs an established youth charity and delivers cutting-edge workshops—including her signature training, The PlayBook: The Comprehensive Guide to Working with Couples (March–June 2026).

Whether she’s supporting a distressed couple, guiding a room full of therapists, or speaking on her podcast, Lottie brings a fierce commitment to truth, accountability, and meaningful change—always grounded in warmth, wisdom, and an unshakeable belief in repair.
