I am an experienced psychotherapist with UK qualifications in Psychology and Psychotherapy and over 20 years working in the world of relationships, sexuality and wellbeing. I help individuals, couples and other relationship groups deal with struggles, development, change and loss within their relationships and personally. Most of my clients are trying to overcome problems in relationship with themselves and/or others. I use an integrated approach to psychotherapy, leaning heavily towards Relational Life Therapy which is always underpinned by current psychological research.
If you have a good relationship that you'd like to make even better, or have recently hit a crisis in your relationship, I can help you and your partner/s understand your negative patterns, where they come from, and most importantly help you develop and practice the relational skills which will help you avoid them in future.
As a relational therapist, I look forward to building a close, empathic and understanding relationship with you. Get in touch with me and we can start working towards a deeper understanding of your relationship. I look forward to meeting you.
