I hold a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy, a BA (Hons) in Counselling, and specialist training in Couples Therapy for Depression (Tavistock Relationships).
There are times in life when we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck disconnected from ourselves or others — when our usual ways of coping no longer seem to help. You don’t have to face this alone. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can talk openly and feel heard without judgment. As a compassionate, experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I draw on Systemic, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and CBT approaches to support understanding, bring hope, healing, and meaningful change.

Some things just need untangling.
You don't need all the answers to be ready for this work, just a sense that the same patterns keep showing up. The same conflicts, the same pull toward what hurts, the same fog after loss or betrayal. You wonder: why do I keep ending up here?
I'm not the kind of therapist who stays on the surface or walks on eggshells. I dig deep, at your pace, no fixed script. Whether this is your first time seeking support or you've been here before, you are in the right place.
Clients leave feeling "human" again. Not broken but clearer, with a real path forward.
Ready to stop circling? Let's untangle it together.

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.

You may appear to be coping on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, low, or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps you are carrying the impact of trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense that something is not quite right. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet tired of managing alone. Therapy offers a space to pause, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin to move forward with greater clarity.

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.
