I help those who seek clarity about their situation, through discussion of the challenges. Viewing issues from multiple perspectives, including evidence based models helps you to get things more in perspective, more malleable, and more manageable. I see to your needs & provide resources as you transition, while we face issues together, & grow your capacity to journey beyond me. This may involve an exploration of the past, or practical focus on here & now strategies & approaches, which influence the map of your life journey you are carving.

Hello,since qualifying in 1992 I have had the great privilege to work alongside many clients seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger issues, low self esteem, confidence issues, OCD, ADHD.

Counselling is about change and sometimes that may require homework too.

People come to psychoanalytically informed therapy for many reasons—depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, shame, or low self-esteem.
Psychoanalytic therapy deepens our understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and the emotional challenges that naturally arise in life. Through the therapeutic relationship, it offers a safe space to explore the difficulties we face and the patterns that shape them.
I also offer clinical supervision.

Or it might be something seemingly more vague: are you wondering why your partner no longer listens to you, or why you suddenly hate Monday mornings?
As an integrative counsellor, I will help you work through whatever issues you bring to our shared space, using the most appropriate therapeutic approach. I recognise that what works for one person might not work for another, and no two people feel the same about what might appear to be a similar ‘thing’ on the outside. After all, you are the expert on you. You have taken the first step, by recognising that you need some help. My practice is called Elpis Therapy - indicating something we all need at times of emotional distress: ‘hope’.

My style is non-directive and person-centred, so that I work collaboratively with you and the issues that you choose, at a pace that feels comfortable for you

My approach to psychotherapy integrates findings in attachment theory, neuroscience, trauma studies, relational psychotherapy and mindfulness. The structure of sessions or "where we will put our attention today" is negotiated with you at the beginning of each session and we will try to cultivate a mindful state of mind throughout the session in order to explore issues in more depth. Care will be taken to pace sessions carefully so that there is plenty of time for you to begin "processing" what arises in the session and to ensure that you do not become overwhelmed by what is explored.

At some point in our lives we all need additional support to deal with personal issues and problems that affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
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.
