I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.
I have a particular interest in working with clients who have experienced adversity, and I am dedicated to exploring attachment patterns and the somatic impacts of trauma on the body. I am also keen to help clients build effective communication skills, which I believe are fundamental to creating healthy relationships and promoting emotional well-being.

I am a compassionate, empathic and intuitive counsellor who is experienced in supporting adolescents, adults and couples.
Counselling can help you to understand yourself at a deeper level; it can provide insight into your thinking and behaviour and raise self-awareness. Learning to understand yourself can be the key to liberating you from unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. This knowledge is the key to true transformation in your life and achieving positive outcomes.

If you're struggling with shame, anxiety, or existential concerns related to your religious background (whether you have left your religious community or are still happily a part of it), I'm here to help you move forward. Religion plays a huge role shaping our understanding of ourselves, our values, and the world around us. It can be a daunting but incredibly rewarding journey to open these ideas up for examination. My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to explore, deconstruct, and create new understandings that feel true to who you are.

Career. Family. Responsibility. But privately, your nervous system is exhausted. You replay conversations. You question yourself. You stay emotionally alert long after interactions are over. For many high-functioning women, this is not “just stress.” Many of the women I work with grew up in emotionally immature or narcissistic family systems where emotional needs were minimised, criticised, or carried alone. Over time they became highly capable, responsible, and emotionally aware of others while slowly losing connection with themselves.

With years of experience with all kinds of problems, I can give you the tools and knowledge to: - Manage feelings of anxiety and depression - Understand and respond to painful thoughts - Build good habits and break bad habits - Improve relationships - Enhance involvement and performance - Build a meaningful life that matters
Men and boys need to look after their mental health as much as women and girls, yet we are far less likely to seek help. We often push on in silence. You might feel a pit of sadness that never goes away, or you might have worries that eat away at you. Perhaps your anger gets out of control and leads to regrettable decisions, or maybe you have forced yourself to wear a mask and to look okay while there is turmoil beneath the surface. After many years of working with males in mental health I know how to help guys move beyond that uncomfortable first step comfortably and on to the road towards improvement.

I believe therapy works best when we feel safe to sit with challenging thoughts and emotions, to be curious about their roots, and to develop compassion for ourselves. Our work together will go at your pace, prioritising your security. I will ask gentle questions to encourage deeper inquiry, and reflect your experiences back to you for examination. I may also invite you to connect with your body during our sessions, to see if our discussion resonates with deeper memories. And I will check-in across sessions, to verify that our exploration aligns with your intentions for seeking therapy, ensuring that your needs are being met.

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.
