Following sessions begin to involve the child with the aim to understand their perspective on the behaviours and then finally focus on solving problems collaboratively as a family.
I am a registered psychologist dedicated to helping parents and caregivers enhance their relationships with their children by fostering collaborative problem-solving skills to address challenging behaviors at home. I utilise the evidence-based Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach, which involves working together with children to understand and solve the issues underlying challenging behaviors. Rather than viewing these behaviors as intentional, CPS sees them as signs of unmet needs or lagging skills. The CPS approach aims to foster connection, reduce conflict, and build problem solving skills.

The skills that I draw on the most are from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which are philosophical while offering practical change strategies.
I am a Clinical Counsellor and DBT group therapist. I work with highly sensitive people who struggle with intense emotions and their aftermath. Sometimes they may feel like they are feeling everything, all at once, at other times nothing at all.

My psychological skills groups for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and better relationships are run every four weeks. Check out my website for details.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family and have expertise in working with narcissistic abuse.
Hi! Thank you for viewing my profile. Searching for a counsellor can be an overwhelming process; knowing who to choose, where to start and concern about trust in whom you may be expressing things never shared with others and worry about vulnerability. I've been in practice for over 9 years. My journey to counselling began due to my own lived life experiences and wanting to support others who may have also felt alone, unheard, unsupported and confused. I offer a safe, respectful and non-clinical space to share and be supported working from various modalities such as CBT, SFT, ACT, Person-Centred, Narrative and Gestalt therapies.

The beauty of working in a slow manner is that you never feel rushed. I closely attend to your story, and the expressed and hidden emotions behind your story, to help you reach goals. Our sessions are longer than usually offered, and finish at 'a natural end point' between 60 and 90 minutes.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
