I work with people navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions and neurodiversity.
I offer integrative therapy tailored to you. I draw from person-centred counselling, CBT, trauma-informed and psychodynamic approaches, shaped by my background in family counselling and mental health. Therapy is a space to explore, reflect and grow. You need to feel safe enough to be open, honest, and vulnerable, especially when exploring difficult emotions.

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. If you've a problem, then I want to do what I can to help with any immediate impact this is giving you, as well as down the line organising it better so it's less of a long-term issue. People have come to me over the last eight years as they've felt stuck, worried or alone with something troubling them. Maybe it's been a recent situation that's brought this about, or maybe it's been incrementally building up over time and it's affecting too many areas of their lives. This is about finding better ways of coping that are less maladaptive, but also, if necessary, to perhaps unlock a core issue.

I have 25 years experience helping individuals and couples who are feeling stressed, unbalanced, confused, angry, stuck, unhappy, or overwhelmed.
After 25 years helping people change effectively, I now teach what I call The How Of Change. I help people identify their goals & then work closely with them to help them achieve their goals. This may involve teaching them how to communicate effectively with others or it can mean helping them to understand themselves and what they want from life.

Many clients I work with struggle with anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, and a fear of abandonment or rejection that shows up in relationships.
We can explore your presenting issues together, looking at when they began and what may have contributed to them, —recognising the origins of how you feel and how these patterns formed—can help reduce the impact those experiences have in the present. What helped you survive an emotionally unsafe childhood doesn't have to define your adulthood, and I can help

You might also notice the same painful patterns showing up in relationships, leaving you feeling stuck, misunderstood, or not quite like yourself.
Together we can explore what’s beneath the anxiety, self-criticism, or relationship struggles, and make sense of how past experiences may still be shaping how you feel today. Over time, therapy can help you quiet the inner critic, feel less anxious, build self-confidence and develop kinder ways of relating to yourself.

I have experience in the following areas: eating disorders, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma and more
As humans, life can feel a bit messy for us all at times. We all experience a wide array of emotions on this journey called life, but there are times when we feel more stressed, overwhelmed, or lower in mood than usual and for longer periods of time. This can be difficult to navigate through by yourself, so you may feel talking therapy could be helpful to help understand and explore what may be going on and to help you move forward. Building awareness of our behaviours and thought processes isn’t always easy and is often avoided, but with support and compassion, I can sit with you through it.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
What types of relationship issues can therapists help with?
Therapists who specialise in relationships work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues. Common concerns include communication problems, infidelity, intimacy difficulties, and navigating major life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, or caregiving. Family therapists may also address parent–child conflict, sibling rivalry, or other complex family dynamics.

What are the different types of therapy for relationship issues?
Relationship issues can be addressed through different types of therapy depending on whether you’re seeking help as an individual, couple, or family. In individual therapy, the focus is often on helping an individual understand how their own patterns, attachment style, and past experiences may be shaping their current relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are three common forms of individual treatment that can help individuals understand their current relationship dynamics and improve their relationship quality. Couples therapy often uses other forms of evidence-based treatment, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or the Gottman Method. Rather than focusing on the individual, these approaches focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening emotional bonds between individuals in a relationship. Similarly, family therapy often focuses on communication but also examines how larger-scale dynamics—such as how parenting styles, generational differences, or sibling roles—may shape family relationships.

What actually happens in a therapy session for relationship issues?
The structure of a session depends on whether therapy involves one person or multiple people. In individual sessions, the focus may be on exploring personal patterns, role-playing difficult conversations, practicing listening skills, or setting goals for handling conflict. In couples or family sessions, each person is encouraged to share their perspective while the therapist helps uncover underlying emotions, highlight unhelpful interaction patterns, and guide more constructive communication.

How can I find an effective relationship therapist?
Finding a therapist who is a good fit for your needs, either for individual, couples, or family therapy, is critical to ensure effective therapy. Psychology Today’s online directory makes it easy to search for therapists who specialise in relationship issues, as well as related topics like marriage counselling. The platform offers filters to help you find a provider who fits your needs, such as gender, location, and fees. While the Psychology Today directory also offers the ability to filter by insurance type, it’s important to note that insurance may not cover many types of relationship therapy, such as couples counselling, so it’s important to inquire with your insurance plan about specific coverage details if intending to use insurance for therapy.
