My experience so far has been with youth & adults, often neurodivergent or living with complex mental health challenges, seeking self-understanding. They struggle with intense emotions, self-criticism, and complex relationships, often stemming from trauma or deep-seated fears of isolation. They need a safe, affirming, and trauma-informed space to explore these issues, learn emotional regulation, and set healthy boundaries. Their goal is to build self-worth, find authentic connection, increase independence, and ultimately live a more peaceful, confident, and self-directed life.

Perhaps you’re trying to live life in a world that doesn’t feel okay. Your mind doesn’t switch off. You overthink things, feel stuck in familiar patterns, or are hard on yourself no matter how much you do. You might feel disconnected, burnt out or quietly struggling with the weight of life and the world around you. I work with people who feel deeply & think deeply - people trying to cope with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship challenges, grief or the sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves while still trying to keep going. This is not about labelling you or “fixing” you.

I am a therapist specialising in assisting clients who have physical and psychological symptoms relating to traumas that they have experienced in their lives. These may be relatively discrete traumas such as a car accident, or they may be complex traumas sustained over time including from early childhood. When we experience trauma both our body and our mind remember what has happened. We try to make sense of what has happened and develop "apps" to deal with and respond to similar situations. These apps can however become problematic, particularly if they are accidentally opening all the time. We call this being "Triggered".

Marriage Counselling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
