As a starting point, I will often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as a way of helping the client understand the power of their thoughts, and their relationship with and impact on emotional and behavioural responses.

My aim is to understand their issues and legitimise their experiences, creating an environment where they feel safe, can express their needs and identify their goals. My focus is creating a strong therapeutic alliance, resulting in a tailored treatment plan.

Life can be so tough, at times: Perhaps you don’t feel good about 'you', you struggle with life feeling relentlessly stressful, expensive, and anxiety-provoking, your relationship is in trouble, work is overwhelming and unsatisfying, your friendships feel insecure, you grieve for the decline or death of a close other (or beloved pet), you are diagnosed with a fear-evoking illness, your mental health is out of kilter and you don't know how to get back on track, or you may be feeling a 'deep down' loss of meaning and purpose in an increasingly unstable, uncertain world.
Whilst I have particular interest in grief and loss, trauma, existential concerns (incl. climate change and related anxieties), and emotional self-regulation, I am deeply interested in all aspects of the experience and suffering that clients and couples bring 'to the room'. My work draws on multiple modalities, tailored to the needs of the clients I see.

I work with individuals (14 years +), couples and families navigating life's struggles.
My approach is grounded in genuine connection, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe therapy should be tailored to the person rather than fit into a predetermined model.

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.
