Are you struggling in your relationships? Feeling stuck repeating old patterns, or wanting to be more connected. In couples and sex therapy, I offer a safe, inclusive, compassionate space to help you through these stressors & challenges, and find peace within yourself and your relationships. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Attachment Theory and the modalities of Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
My therapy approach is rooted in genuine connection that values the diversity & uniqueness of all individuals. I work with you to understand the deeper meaning at the root of your issue to heal it rather than just manage the symptoms. My aim is to help you overcome what isn't working and develop ways of being that honour you and your partner(s).
It can be difficult to reach out for support and to believe that counselling can make a difference. Everyone can benefit from counselling. I have supported hundreds of clients who I have helped transform their relationships, and would love to support you in living your best life.
