Every person, and every couple, has their own unique set of challenges and strengths, whether they be a mix of; anxiety; depression; emotional highs and lows; neurodivergence; infidelity; addiction; loss of trust; failing communication, or lack of connection to the people around them. Counselling can help people connect to themselves and others, cope through big emotions, motivate through low energy and grow stronger within their relationship despite significant challenges.
I'm a university qualified counsellor treating couples and individuals. I use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focussed Couples Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
My clients are very important people to me. People have a sincere hope that counselling will help them and I honour and value the trust that is put in me.

Couples can expect to learn which patterns and behaviours are destructive to their relationship and replace those behaviours with evidence-based ways that are shown to greatly improve relationship quality, leading to stronger friendship, intimacy, resilience in the face of challenges and ultimately, a happier experience of life.

I use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy with the couples that I see. This highly respected, evidence-based modality is the product of decades of couples research. For best progress I book all couples counselling sessions for 1.5 hours in duration and recommend weekly sessions at the beginning.
