‘You are the Greatest Project You Will Ever Work On’ As a humanistic integrative counsellor I offer a safe, empathic, non-judgemental space for you to explore the challenges life presents you with. The therapeutic relationship I can provide you is a confidential space where you can speak openly and honestly, free from fear of judgement or concern about the impact on others, something that often feels different from talking with friends or family. Counselling is not about telling you what to do, but about helping you connect with your own understanding, strengths, and inner resources.

It’s not always easy to reach out for support, but if you’re here, you’ve already taken an important first step. You may be facing relationship challenges, a breakup, family difficulties, loss, uncertainty, anxiety, low mood, or questions about your identity and sense of self. Naming these experiences can help you recognise that you are not alone. Sometimes we all need a safe place to share what we’re carrying. Counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin to heal.

My systemic training as well as Terry Neal, Ester Perel and Dr Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy informs my practice when working with couples, including co-parenting post- divorce.
I have worked in the NHS for 25 years, across a variety of settings and am currently undertaking an MA in Family Therapy. Neuro-biology and Somatic psychology are also areas that inform my practice. This includes helping individuals to understand choices around mental health medication, how the body and mind are 'one' and are both informed by the 'fight or flight' response, attachment styles and survival strategies. I use NVR (Non-Violent Resolution) to support families and young people with challenging behaviours.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
