Some people arrive knowing exactly what's wrong. Most don't. They just know something has to change. They're tired of going round in circles. Tired of the same arguments, the same anxious feelings, the same version of themselves showing up. Couples navigating affairs and betrayals, or just growing apart. Individuals carrying work-related stress, or a career shift that's shaken who they are. Professionals brilliant at their job and falling apart at home. I work with couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy, and with individuals at their own pace, to find what's driving the pattern you're stuck in, and a way through it together.
I work with individuals using Person-Centred Therapy and with couples using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, one of the most well researched approaches for relationship work available. Face to face in Cottingham, near Hull, and online. I offer a free 20 minute intro call, with weekdays, evenings and weekend appointments available.
I know it takes something to reach out. You might not be sure yet if therapy is right for you, or if I'm the right fit, and that's completely normal. Most people feel that way before their first conversation. There's no pressure and no obligation, just a chance to talk it through and see how it feels to be heard.

Most people come with one of these issues sitting front and centre, but rarely in isolation. Anxiety lives alongside relationship strain. Grief sits next to anger. Whatever brings you here, I work with what is actually in the room. For couples I use EFCT which gets underneath the arguments to what is really driving them. For individuals I work person-centred, at your pace, without an agenda.

I work person-centred with individuals, which means there is no set agenda . You lead, I follow. For couples I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is rooted in attachment theory an the patterns and cycles keeping you stuck. Where trauma, grief or domestic abuse is part of the picture, I work carefully and at your pace, and the space is always warm, honest and entirely confidential.
