I offer a safe, confidential setting where you can talk. I will always strive to make sure that the things we talk about & the pace of our conversations are acceptable to you, & that you have active control over this. I have worked with people in distress or seeking change for almost twenty years. In my view, one of the absolute foundations to doing this well is listening without judgement & then bringing warmth, gentleness & curiosity to the conversations that follow. If you are lonely, isolated or ashamed, I will safely & reliably offer you connection, care, & acceptance, as we work towards your goals.

It is common for couples to reach a place where they feel stuck in a repeatative cycle.
There are times when we need to reach out for help. When stuck and going around in circles we need something to change. My personal and professional experience in Residential Treatment and Relationship Counselling has allowed me to work with a variety of people and their concerns . Here I witness that change is possible and patterns of behaviour can change

I work gently and compassionately, with individuals/ couples, struggling with difficult or painful feelings, managing their emotions, and struggling to enjoy life.
In my work my aim is to focus on creating a better understanding of feelings and experiences, so responses can be more measured and constructive, and less emotionally negative. It is a sensitive, gradual process in which growing awareness and mindfulness play a major part.

The relationship tensions, work pressures and big transitions can leave you feeling tense, overwhelmed and doubtful of your abilities. Perhaps, your inner critic is constantly saying you're not enough. Perhaps some past events and patterns are preventing you from living the life you want. You’re not alone, and more importantly, you don’t have to stay stuck.

My aim as a CBT therapist is to help clients who may be struggling with life challenges and develop a shared formulation that is individualised, that brings awareness to and understanding how your difficulties may have developed and are being maintained. This acts as a “roadmap” for our therapeutic understanding and intervention and will be covered in the initial assessment session(s). We will agree on how many sessions to meet for (usually six to 24, depending on the duration and complexity/severity) and help you work towards your set goals and values.

FAQ - Marriage Counselling
What issues does marriage counselling help with?
Marriage counselling can address common relationship concerns, including ongoing conflict, communication challenges, emotional distance, or difficulty making decisions together. It may also be helpful for couples who are not currently experiencing major problems but want to prepare for future life changes. For more specific concerns affecting one individual in the relationship, such as trauma, depression, or significant substance use concerns, individual therapy may be more appropriate than marriage counselling.

When is the right time to start marriage counselling?
There is no single “right” time to start marriage counselling, but certain signs may suggest that counselling could be helpful. For example, a couple may benefit from counselling if many conversations end in conflict, if negative interactions are becoming more frequent, or if relationship stress is affecting other areas of life, such as sleep, work, parenting, or friendships. Some couples also seek counselling proactively. Premarital counselling, for instance, allows couples to discuss communication styles, finances, family dynamics, and future goals before getting married. Other couples may start counselling before a major life change, such as becoming parents, relocating, or navigating a stressful career transition.

Is marriage counselling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Marriage counselling may still help even if one partner is more hesitant to attend, as long as both people are ultimately willing to participate in sessions. Once counselling is underway, the more hesitant partner may become more open to sessions that can strengthen the relationship and build coping skills and communication strategies. If one partner refuses to attend, individual therapy may still help the other partner understand their needs, set boundaries, and decide how to approach the relationship.

Is online marriage counselling as effective as in-person?
There are differing opinions on the best format for marriage counselling. While some studies show that online marriage counselling can be as effective as in-person counselling, some argue that in-person counselling is more effective because it allows the therapist to better pick up on context and body language cues. In addition, in-person counselling may be a better fit for couples who are working through high-conflict issues. Ultimately, the “best” format depends on the couple’s specific needs and concerns.

What is faith-based marriage counselling and how is it different?
Faith-based marriage counselling incorporates a couple’s religious or spiritual beliefs into counselling. It may be a good fit for couples who want to discuss their relationship, values, and marriage within the context of their faith. For example, Christian marriage counselling may appeal to couples who want a counsellor familiar with Christian beliefs about marriage. Other forms of faith-based counselling may incorporate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious perspectives into sessions.

How much does marriage counselling cost and is it covered by insurance?
Marriage counselling is usually paid for privately in Great Britain, rather than through the NHS, and sessions often cost around £60 to £120 or more. Fees depend on location, with costs generally higher in the London area, as well as counsellor experience, session length, and practice setting. However, lower-cost options may be available through sliding scale fees, which adjust the cost of counselling based on income, as well as through community clinics or non-profit organisations that offer reduced-cost services.
