About
Family problems from trivial to severe will challenge every family at some point. Family Therapy can feel like a real life saver, whether it’s adjusting to the teenage years, divorce, separation, managing conflict respectfully or grieving. Family members seek my help when they become stuck in repeating patterns of hurtful or harmful behaviour and have run out of ideas for solving problems. Family Therapy helps families, couples and teenagers to build closer and happier relationships and address challenges like addictions, mental illness, violence, eating disorders, self-harming, suicide ideation, separation and co-parenting.
I'm a family therapist who also works with couples and individuals, including children and adolescents. I do this through a trauma-informed approach that supports clients to improve reliability and renew trust within current and future relationships and to address problems and disappointment from the past.
I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can explore things you may never have talked about. My priority is to provide a confidential, empathic and accepting environment in which you are free to question, reflect upon and express yourself. Through a relationship built on trust, we'll work together to find your own way in the maze of life.
