Couples Counselling in Chard
I work with adults, couples and teenagers over the age of 16 across a range of issues.
A big part of my work is with adults who have suffered adverse childhood experiences or childhood emotional neglect. If this is you and you feel that you are struggling to cope because you are still carrying around the childhood adaptations you used to protect yourself, traits such as people pleasing, being afraid to try, afraid to use your voice, perfectionism traits, not being able to take criticism to name but a few. I have seen people turn their lives around when they have addressed these issues so if this speaks to you please contact me for a consultation. Don't let your past ruin your future it doesn't have to be this way.

Couples Counselling.
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who works with you as an individual, to meet your specific needs. I keep my client numbers low in order to really get to know you and work to meet your needs. I use counselling skills, CBT, and solution focused therapy to help you to raise your awareness and achieve the goals and outcomes you want and need. Together we can make a plan and set goals to get you to where you want to be, with new insights and understanding. We can work at your pace, in bite sized chunks. I use worksheets and articles for you to explore relevant topics between sessions, to keep that motivation flowing.

I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, burnout, life transitions, and feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself.
I believe every person’s experience is valid and deserving of care. You might come to counselling feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of why things feel heavy, or you may arrive wanting to gently explore past experiences, trauma, or long-held patterns that no longer serve you. You may have clear reasons for seeking support, or you may simply know that something doesn’t feel right and want a space to explore that without pressure or judgment. My role is to offer a safe, compassionate, and accepting space that adapts to what you need, where you are met as you are, at your own pace.

You may be navigating appointments, school or care systems, diagnosis journeys, relationship strain, guilt, grief, anger, uncertainty or the pressure of always needing to keep going.
Therapy with me is collaborative and gently paced. You do not need to arrive with everything neatly explained, or even know exactly what you want to say. We can begin with your experience as it is. Together, we can explore what feels most important to you so you feel heard, make sense of what you are carrying and reconnect with your own needs.

Though I work with all aspects of emotional and mental health and wellbeing, I have a special interest in communication, relationship and pre&post-natal issues, either with individuals or couples.
Welcome! I have been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist since 1998 and work as a supervisor too, with practices in Exeter and London and online. I believe that many of our difficulties develop due to our early life and past experiences, including trauma. We repeat patterns in our lives hoping that things will get resolved. Sometimes these patterns are unhelpful to us. Therapy offers, in a confidential and safe space, the possible facilitation of being able to recognise these patterns and approach them from a new perspective.

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.
