I work with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, emotional disconnection, conflict, intimacy concerns, affairs and trust ruptures, anxiety, grief, major life transitions, and unhelpful coping patterns. Many clients come to counselling feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. I offer a warm, collaborative, attachment-informed, and trauma-aware space that supports reflection, emotional awareness, communication, and reconnection.
My approach is integrative and evidence-based, tailored to each client’s needs and goals. I draw from EFT, Gottman Method principles, ACT, CBT, IFS, and person-centred therapy to help clients navigate difficult emotions, understand recurring patterns, strengthen relationships, rebuild trust, and develop healthier ways of coping.
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially when things have felt painful or disconnected for some time. Counselling can offer space to pause, feel heard, and begin making sense of what has been difficult. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I welcome you to connect when you feel ready.
