Welcome to Anchor Point Practice. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in repeating patterns in their relationships, thoughts, or emotional responses. Many of the people I see are experiencing anxiety, overthinking, interpersonal stress, attachment wounds, or major life transitions. They often feel exhausted by the same arguments, disconnection, or internal loops. In our work together, we slow things down to understand the relational patterns underneath the surface — helping you process trauma, build emotional safety, strengthen boundaries, and feel more confident in how you relate to others and to yourself.
I also work with couples who feel caught in the same conflict, emotional distance, or communication breakdown. I support couples to understand the repetitive cycles, reconnect with their needs and values, and rebuild a sense of safety and connection. I welcome couples who are working to repair their relationship, and those navigating relationship changes.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to coping alone. You don’t need to have it all figured out. I offer a calm space to make sense of what feels stuck and build self-trust — your anchor point. If this feels right to you, get in touch to arrange an initial session.

I apply a strengths-based approach, meaning you are the expert of your experience and we encourage existing strengths to emerge. I also use Internal Family Systems so we can understand what parts of you are struggling and how they relate to one another. Other practical tools like emotion-focused and solution-focused therapy can be practised in and outside of the therapy room.
