Couples who are struggling to communicate, feeling disconnected, or navigating a difficult period in their relationship. I also work with individuals seeking support with personal challenges, and professionals seeking Board Approved Supervision.
Using the evidence-based Gottman Method, I help couples improve communication, rebuild trust and strengthen their connection. For individuals, I offer a collaborative, tailored approach drawing on CBT, ACT, DBT and other evidence-based modalities. I also conduct forensic psychological assessments and court reports for criminal proceedings.
I believe therapy starts with a genuine connection and a safe space for exploration. Together, we'll create a personalised approach tailored to your goals — gently navigating the challenging parts while discovering moments of insight and growth.
