Individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or disconnected, and want more than a quick fix. Clients may be navigating relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, people-pleasing, boundaries, major life transitions, or the emotional changes of pregnancy and becoming a parent. Together, we explore the patterns that keep you stuck, build practical tools for change, and create space to feel more connected, confident and in control.
I offer individual and couples counselling, drawing on the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for relationship repair, and CBT, ACT and person-centred approaches for anxiety, emotional wellbeing and life transitions. I also support trauma, grief, boundaries and perinatal mental health
Reaching out for counselling can be a big step, especially if you've spent a long time trying to manage everything on your own. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or simply exhausted from carrying so much, you don't have to figure it all out alone. We can start where you are and work from there, at a pace that feels manageable.

These are the main issues I can help you with: relationship conflict, mens and womens health, and navigating 'invisible wounds'. Treatment involves a collaborative plan using the Gottman Method, CBT, or ACT. You can expect to find clarity, build emotional resilience, and break free from exhausting cycles of people-pleasing, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

CBT is a staple, but I tailor my sessions with a person-focussed approach. Initially sessions are about exploration and expectations, and then we collaboratively decide what works best for you. One size does not fit all. For my lovely couples, I primarily use the Gottman Method and EFT, we rebuild trust, increase fondness and admiration and rewrite communication.
