- There’s You → Respect differences while staying connected.
- There’s Us → Build intimacy, trust, and a deeper connection whilst supporting each other's individual growth.
This isn’t just a quick fix — It’s a practical, proactive resource that grows with you.
It allows you the flexibility to work on your relationship in everyday moments.

About Cate, the Creator
Encouraging Personal Insight and Shared Understanding
I’m a couples therapist who has specialised in relationships since 2000. Over the past two and a half decades, I’ve supported couples, trained and supervised therapists, and developed couples skills courses for therapists– used globally
Through this work, I’ve seen one truth repeated again and again: a stronger “me” supports a stronger “us.”
I’m passionate about extending the reach of my work beyond the therapy room—particularly for the many couples who don't have access to therapy because of cost, time, or hesitation. And also to help those in the early years of commitment get off to a strong start. That’s why I created After the Honeymoon Stage.
This proactive resource brings professional-level guidance straight to you in a way that’s practical, affordable, and accessible. It’s filled with the same tools and strategies I use with my own clients—now available in an interactive format you can return to whenever you need clarity, direction, or a reset.
