Individual and couples counsellor.
You don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine if you’re not. I work with people who seem put-together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected inside. Maybe you lie awake replaying conversations, or you’re exhausted from being ‘strong’ for everyone else. Therapy is where you finally get to put the weight down. I won’t just listen and nod - I’ll help you untangle the patterns keeping you stuck and give you practical tools you can use in daily life. Whether it’s calming thoughts, setting boundaries without guilt, or learning how to quiet your inner critic.

Are you struggling with everyday life at the moment, or are you not feeling yourself? Do you have lots of thoughts going round your head and you don’t know what to do about them? Taking some time out to talk to an experienced therapist can really help. Together we can explore your feelings and worries, better understand where they come from and also figure out what changes you could make to help you feel happier. I aim to listen and be truly alongside you throughout the sessions as you talk about anything that you want to bring – be it experiences from the past, things that are happening now, or concerns for the future.

My ideal client is open to the change the therapy can bring. Change can be anything from feeling better by having a chat with someone, to working on the feelings and thoughts they're having. They aren't looking to be told what to do, but can explore options and hopefully take something away from our sessions. People want to be heard and there are times they can't say what they want to say to anyone else. The therapist is the unbiased person they can offload to. They want to feel better in some way at the end of the session, even if the things they talk about are difficult and painful. They know that change isn't easy.

People come to psychoanalytically informed therapy for many reasons—depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, shame, or low self-esteem. What these struggles often have in common is that they have been present for some time and, despite our best efforts, do not improve when we try to manage them alone. This can leave us feeling stuck and isolated, with symptoms and frustrations that gradually intensify.
The aim of this therapy is not only to alleviate conscious symptoms, but also to develop a deeper understanding and awareness of the underlying emotional life that shapes our relationships and our feelings.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
