I see Couples, Individuals, Children and Young People (age 11+).
I work from a psychodynamic model to get to the root of your presenting problems.
Often people try to manage their presenting problems, without realising they stem from a much deeper place. I help you to find and resolve what is really going on underneath the surface - resulting in better understanding and empathy for your self, and increased resilience.

Highly experienced, I offer a safe, non-judgemental and creative space to explore personal or relationship concerns.
My long experience has developed in me a compassionate understanding of a breadth of human experience. Humanistic psychotherapy aims to empower and equip you to be your best self. I will integrate other approaches to psychotherapy to help you further. In couples and relational counselling we explore communication, attitudes, behaviours & early influences.

In my work with couples I introduce elements of Emotionally Focused Therapy, a structured approach based on attachment theory, helping couples to understand and respond to each other's needs effectively.
My core approach to counselling is Psychodynamic which means I pay attention to unconscious feelings and how past experiences may be influencing your present day to day life. Our work will be collaborative and I will make sure that, during the therapeutic process, your needs are met and your pace respected.

I work with a range of issues from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship issues.
We know that life is sometimes very hard, and that we are supposed to be able to absorb and grow from the inevitable ups and downs that come our way. But, of course, there are times when we are just unable to absorb what life throws at us, or grow from it, because we can't quite determine what is wrong or see a way forward.
Whether it is anxiety, depression, or something else that cannot be so neatly labelled, I will support you in exploring your own, unique experience. You will discover and understand what is causing you discomfort, pain or holding you back, so that you can live a more enjoyable, fulfilled and rewarding life.

I work with adults, young people and couples.
We all experience difficult times in our lives. I believe that the way we manage those hard times is dependent on our previous experiences, and on the beliefs, thoughts and feelings we hold on to as a result of this. This can inhibit us from feeling happy and fulfilled, and from being our true authentic selves.

Maybe it's a relationship hitting the same wall, a pattern you can't shift, or a low mood or anxiety without an obvious source.
Most of us arrive in relationships carrying more than we realise - patterns, wounds, expectations we didn't choose. Sometimes it's a crisis that brings things to a head - a loss, a betrayal, a relationship fracturing under pressure. When life gets in the way of the connection we want - with others or with ourselves - therapy can help.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
