Are you and your partner feeling more like housemates than lovers, struggling to connect, or caught in the same arguments without resolution? Maybe things look fine from the outside, but inside, there's a quiet distance growing. Or perhaps you've been moving from one relationship to the next, always chasing closeness but never quite feeling safe. If you’re starting to wonder whether it’s too late to repair—don’t wait. Whether you’re in a relationship or navigating relational patterns on your own, I’m here to support your process. Seeking help is an act of courage—and you deserve support in creating the love you long for.
I use a relational, experiential approach, grounded in Gestalt and attachment theory, to help couples and individuals reconnect. Together, we'll address cycles of blame, withdrawal, or resentment, promoting honest communication and emotional healing. I create a safe, compassionate space where each partner feels heard, respected, and open to change.
If you're ready to reignite your relationship, heal past wounds, or create more peace and meaning, I’d be honoured to guide you. Whether rebuilding trust, navigating a breakup, or seeking deeper connection - reach out for a confidential chat and take the first step toward a more fulfilling, wholehearted relationship—and the most important one: with yourself.
