Discover the Power of Talking-How often do you have the need to TALK to somebody and what stops you is what they might think?We all go through periods during which we feel alone, not understood and that is perfectly fine.Other times, we may need to change things in our lives and we don’t know where to start. Asking for help can be difficult too. These are the times when a Professional can be your sounding board, with a compassionate, non-judgemental and safe attitude can offer you an opportunity to discover new perspectives, new possibilities. Stop suffering in silence... You have more power to change things than you think you have.

Exploring these kinds of questions and how they affect you (and maybe your partner too) in a respectful, confidential and compassionate environment with a skilled professional can be both transformative and deeply healing.
Making sense of life and our relationships can be challenging at times. We might find ourselves contemplating if we are causing ourselves unnecessary unhappiness, or if this is 'just the way things are'? Should I just keep sticking at 'it', or is it time for things to change? Might we be living our lives in 'survival mode' when we could be 'thriving' instead?

All enquires through my website please. Most people experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives and need to cope with pain and confusion. You may feel stuck and unmotivated or need to work through a traumatic experience from your past so you can move on with your life. You might also experience work related stress or be dealing with relationship difficulties. Self-development may also be the reason for seeking therapy. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and make sense of your difficulties in a safe, non-judgmental environment, to develop your self-understanding and improve your relationships.

My practice is entirely online, so individuals and couples can access therapy from the comfort of their own homes.
Maybe you've spent years feeling like you had to be someone else—constantly trying to meet the expectations of others. Whether it’s unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or the weight of anxiety and depression, it can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self. You might find yourself stuck in people-pleasing, overworking, masking, or repressing your emotions. Coping can turn into unhealthy patterns like self-harming, developing addictions, OCD, or eating disorders. Together, we can unravel those patterns, understand how your past is shaping your present, and help you develop what you need to feel good in your own skin.

I specialise in treating mental health conditions, particularly trauma. Trauma can arise from life events, relationships, loss or abuse. It doesn't only affect veterans or those who have had near-death experiences. Sometimes, trauma is incorporated into how we view ourselves as people. I can help you to change that. I often work with clients who have suffered for many years and sometimes 'as long as I can remember' and have never gotten to the root cause of their difficulties. They would like to work with someone who is genuine, kind and who really listens to understand. To know why they feel like this and how to feel safe again.

I value working deeply and curiously to untangle challenges in people's experiences. So often we are stuck in relationships or in situations that don't serve us. However, with support, we can find out about where these issues originate and how to move forward with compassion. I work with attachment theory to unpick relational patterns and look at reactions and choices we make in life. I work with clients' Parts to begin to understand their inner world and build new ways of communicating, growing self-esteem and confidence. I love working with clients from a base of an authentic and trusting relationship on a medium/long-term basis.

I have a special interest in working with couples, helping you work through your issues, be it dealing with a crisis or improving your communication.
Well done on taking the most difficult decision to access counselling. Sometimes we feel totally overwhelmed by the challenges in life and seeking professional help seems like a momentous decision. However, when in crisis we need more than talking to our friends and family who may not always know how to listen without giving well meaning advice or simply may not know what to say. You may be feeling isolated and lonely, frightened or anxious. You may have temporarily lost your way. I will ensure that you are carefully listened to and I will accept you as you are, without judgement. Together we will find a way forward.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
