I am also neuro-divergent friendly, with my own neurodevelopment disorder of ADHD, which assists me to understand and identify your strengths and work with them in a person centred framework.

I specialise in helping couples, families and family members move on from chronic stress to sustainable resilience.
I have been working in the fields of family therapy and stress-related disorders and conditions for more than twenty-two years, since being an army chaplain both in the South African and Australian Defence Forces during times of military conflict (I served for extensive periods on the front lines of battle and experienced the horrors of traumatic incidents, death, loss, brokenness, anger and excessive aggression behind retaliation on the front line). Touched by the distress of those around me, I realised that we have to be proactive and therefore intentionally develop sustainable resilience before facing extreme distress!

If you’ve been holding things together on the surface but something underneath isn’t working — in your relationships, your direction, or how you’re actually feeling — this is a place to actually work through it.
My work combines evidence-based psychotherapy with nervous system regulation and clear, practical intervention. We look at the patterns shaping your experience — how you think, feel, and respond — and work directly with them. That might include relationship dynamics, emotional reactivity, anxiety patterns, or self-criticism. This isn’t just about talking.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges.
You might be finding that life feels heavier than it used to. The things that once felt manageable now leave you drained, anxious, or second-guessing yourself. Perhaps there’s been conflict, loss, or change, and you’re not sure what you need - only that something doesn't feel right. Counselling offers a space to slow down and make sense of what’s been happening; to reconnect with yourself, and find steadier ground.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
