Yes, Emily-Jane Peterson is the author name I write under. I chose this pen name intentionally to create a focused space where I could share my couples therapy work, relationship tools, and personal healing journey in an open yet protected way.

When I first began writing, I connected with this name instantly. Emily-Jane felt warm, nurturing, and steady, the voice I wanted to offer my readers. Choosing it wasn’t about hiding who I am but honouring the tone and space I hoped to create. Writing under this name lets me stay deeply connected to my readers while holding healthy boundaries around my private life.

Behind every guide, prompt, and exercise lies someone who once longed for reconnection, direction, and a way to heal.
That person was me.

These books weren’t written after everything was fixed; they were written in real time.
Between raising a family, navigating daily stress, and learning how to rebuild a relationship from the ground up.

They weren’t created in a clinic or developed by a panel of experts.
They were shaped in quiet moments, painful conversations, and the small wins that come from trying again and choosing love even when it’s hard.

This work isn’t polished perfection. It’s personal. It’s raw. And it’s deeply intentional.

Every chapter, prompt, and exercise exists because I needed it too.
And now, they’re here for you.

My greatest mentorship didn’t come from a course or a qualification but from within.
From years of self-reflection, careful observation, hard choices, and the decision to reshape not only my relationship but also my role within it.

Every book you see here was born from that journey.

Not as a therapist.
Not as an expert.
However, as a relationship mentor, one has walked this path personally and alongside countless others.

These books are the tools I wish we’d had during our most challenging moments.
They’re structured, simple, and supportive, but most importantly, they’re real.

I didn’t just want to give couples advice. I wanted to offer a guided journey.
A way forward that doesn’t require a therapy room.
Just two people, a willingness to try, and tools that meet them where they are.

Behind every cover lies intention and emotion.

I didn’t set out to be a designer, but I knew I needed each book to feel like the journey it represented. I began experimenting with colours and symbols that quietly speak of closeness, healing, and growth. The process was intuitive. I’d ask: What does connection look like? What does safety feel like on a page?

The result? I created every single cover in this series using Canva, but more importantly, they were shaped by meaning.

• The bold silhouettes and gold heart outlines symbolise unity and reconnection.

• The glowing backdrops reflect hope and emotional transition.

• The ring shapes, champagne flutes, and holding hands quietly honour celebration, commitment, and effort.

• And while the flowers and hand gestures don’t alaways appear on the covers, they’re carefully woven into the workbooks and journals to gently signal emotional themes like care, warmth, and mutual effort.

As the series progresses, you’ll see softer palettes for the reflection journals, vibrant energy in the workbooks, and tonal shifts. That’s all intentional. Just like healing, this collection has a rhythm not just in its words, but in its visuals.

These designs aren’t about perfection.
They’re about presence.
And being fully present with what you feel is, I believe, where healing begins.

You’ll notice soft palettes for the journals, bold colours for the workbooks, and gentle transitions between each series. This was intentional, a way to honour the emotional weight of the work while still creating something beautiful and hopeful.

These books began long before I knew they would become books. What started as years of journaling, researching tools, mentoring others, and reflecting on my relationship slowly turned into something more.

The inspiration to reach out kept growing, and one day, I looked at what I had written, gathered all the pieces together, and realised I’d created a guide that couples could follow, something we had lived.

From there, I taught myself how to edit, proofread, design, and format books. Not because I planned to become an author, but because I felt a quiet calling to turn lived experience into lasting support.

I never set out to build a series. I wanted to help couples find their way. The rest unfolded, page by page.

 out to help couples find a starting point, and the rest unfolded from there.

You don’t need to have been writing since childhood to have something meaningful to say.
Some of the greatest life lessons are self-taught through experience, resilience, and the quiet decision to keep going.

If you're an aspiring writer, creator, or mentor:
Start small. Start honestly.
You don’t need perfection to make an impact.

You have something powerful to offer if you’ve lived and grown through it.
Your lived truth could be the very thing someone else needs to hear.

That’s where real connection begins.
Start small. Start honestly.
You don’t need perfection to make an impact.

If you’ve lived and grown through it, you have something powerful to offer.
Your lived truth could be the very thing someone else needs to hear.

That’s where real connection begins.

Every relationship has its own story, and this is just a chapter.
Whether you’re just beginning, rebuilding after betrayal, or searching for ways to reconnect… these pages are here to walk with you.

You don’t need to have all the answers right now. you need a starting point.

I hope these books give you one.
