Couples Counselling in Egham

My therapeutic approach is Humanistic and I work as an Integrative and Transpersonal Psychotherapist. By creating a safe confidential space for exploration, I help my clients to become more aware of their habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in order to understand how they affect their life experiences. My role is to facilitate you to tap into your inner resources to find solutions to your difficulties. I also offer clinical supervision to therapists.

I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, anger management, eating disorders, addictions, relationship issues, sexual assault, and work related stress issues. With couples I deal with communication styles, relational and attachment patterns and I am particularly interested in the complex issues surrounding infidelity and betrayal.

I have worked as a relationship therapist for over 15 years and I offer insights and can help you find coping strategies. I work with individuals, couples , young people and families. The issues that I work with include anxiety, separation/divorce, putting your relationship back together, escalating rows, communication to name but a few. I am a professionally qualified and experienced therapist with a private practise in Staines and work with a large number of my clients online, including clients in both at home and abroad. I have a Master of Arts degree in Relationship and Family Therapy.

I am a counselling psychologist with a wide range of experience. I have worked with adults facing various mental health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, health-related difficulties, and relational issues. My experience comes from working within the NHS, charity organisations, university counselling services, and private practice. I believe each person is unique and I use a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your needs.  My aim is to work collaboratively with you and create a safe and confidential space for you to safely explore your lives and the different opportunities that are available to you.

As we begin to emerge from this challenging time, many relationships will be feeling the strain. Couple or individual counselling, either face to face or online can make such a difference, as we explore concerns and find effective ways forward.

You may feel as if you are grappling with confusion and dissatisfaction; feel stuck, lost or unsure what to do. Counselling could help you as it will allow you make sense of what is happening and find hope beyond your current situation. It will give you permission to make effective decisions and choices. It is an activity in which you choose to engage; therefore, you should not feel forced or pressurised into attending.

Life can be hard at times and you can't always just simply get on with it, get a grip, or forget about it; you can get the right help to overcome difficulties. If you are you feeling worried, or confused by challenging events, or if you had a traumatic, distressing experience and moving on seems impossible. I can help you. Perhaps you are grieving and finding it hard to cope with a significant loss? Or you have difficulties with building or maintaining good relationships? Do you have anger issues? Do you feel stuck, sad, undervalued and finding it hard to be yourself? These are areas I specialise on, I'd like to help you.

As an experienced integrative, clinical psychotherapist & EMDR practitioner, my work supports adult & child clients, from a diverse range of ethnic, social & cultural backgrounds. Valuing the relationship, my friendly approach is based on trust, where working collaboratively, will enable you to come to terms with issues you are experiencing, allowing for a better understanding. Working together at your pace, I will help you clarify your thoughts & feelings (for children I use creative play), enabling you to move confidently forward, away from unwanted patterns of behaviour, to find new ways of thinking & living a fulfilling life.

Expressing oneself verbally is not easy for everybody. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can provide a healing and explorative experience for you as a client, facilitating you to examine your thoughts, beliefs, experiences and behaviours in a safe space with another. I work with a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, self esteem, disordered eating, grief and loss, trauma, suicidal thoughts and ideation, relationships, anger, sexual abuse, sleep, addiction, parenting, trauma and self harm.

I provide a compassionate and empathic space for you to bring whatever is bothering you right now. I will always work to your agenda and support you to make changes if that is what you want or just support you through a difficult patch. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, social anxiety and relationship issues.

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed, anxious or uncertain? Do you feel unable to cope or have low self esteem? You may be facing new challenges and difficulties or perhaps you are stuck and don't know where to turn or what to do. Troubling times can leave us feeling hopeless, sad, and wondering what the point of it is. Therapy is a place for you to work through these things and find ways to feel better in yourself and hopeful for the future.

I'm a humanistic therapist which means I draw from multiple types of therapy to tailor the therapy experience to your needs. I think that you and I are both imperfect humans working together to gain understanding of your experience. I facilitate this exploration through compassionate curiosity and open exploration of emotions. I firmly believe you know yourself best; I’m just here to support. Whatever you feel like you need support with, I'm here to work alongside you with compassion and empathy (and sometimes a little silliness). I offer flexible scheduling online for people who travel regularly, or have difficult schedules.
