My experience is based in working with individuals, couples and family groups of all ages.
I have been offering clients support with their mental health challenges for many years and offer an holistic approach which is grounded in a Person Centered structure. Sessions are held in my relaxed and comfortable office and an initial session is offered at a reduced rate in order that prospective clients may explore whether they feel that working with me might offer them a safe and confidential environment where they might feel comfortable enough to explore what may be challenging and uncomfortable issues.

We can seek support and advice from family and friends, but sometimes having someone that offers a neutral, accepting, and non-judgmental space is important, and allows you to explore what is happening, and how you really feel.
Perhaps you have a sense that something is not right, that you are not able to enjoy life fully. Through our child & adult experiences, we often ‘take on’ other people's views of ourselves, meaning we have beliefs about ourselves that are not true to who we really are. For eg-I will only be liked if I do what others want/I cannot cope with life because I am weak/why can’t I be like others, or you notice your behaviour changes when you are around people. We can adopt negative behavioural patterns that influence the way we relate to ourselves & others, impacting the way we live and inform us of who we are.

It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; and that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy, dysregulated or distressed. Due to stigma, people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access therapy whenever you need to. My background is in working with abuse survivors, and those who have experienced trauma. As a result I work with narcissism, depression, low self esteem, shame, loneliness, hopelessness, grief & loss, anger, self harm and suicidal feelings as well as a broad range of other factors and experiences clients bring to their sessions.

Life is full of events, relationships, stresses and strains and all these impact on us in many different ways. It can affect all the important things to us such as school, work, relationships and our own perception of ourselves. This can be tiring and overwhelming. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way and I believe strongly that a person can benefit from having a space to discuss their feelings and develop ideas and strategies to improve their emotional wellbeing.

Family Therapy Counsellors

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
