I am passionate about helping you using such methods as BRAINSPOTTING, Internal Family Systems IFS, Imago Relationship Therapy and Gottman Relationship Therapy to name just a few of many gathered over 37 years.
So often clients come with a sense of hopelessness in their lives. Worry about their relationships with partners and family members and a belief that they are failing themselves or others. So many say "I just want to be normal" especially if they have experience trauma in their lives. Many clients don't trust easily if they have been betrayed and fear they are "stuck forever... nothing will change... " .

Family Systems Counsellors
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
