I have years of experience with working with both individuals and couples I help partners improve their relationship by facilitating communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening emotional bonds. I guide couples through challenging situations, assess their needs, and develop individualised treatment plans. I assess the strengths and weakness of each relationship, and identify patterns of interaction and communication. I also conduct an individual assessment to understand each partner's emotional state and needs within the relationship. For individuals we work through whatever presenting issue they came to therapy for.

I am an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist offering both in person and online sessions. I have a particular interest in and experience with trauma and complex trauma. Sometimes our own feelings don’t make sense to us and we behave in ways we don’t understand. Psychodynamic psychotherapy aims to explore feelings and behaviour that affect our mental wellbeing and our relationships with others, but remain mostly outside of our awareness. Working towards a greater understanding of our feelings, behaviour and relationships can help us develop a better sense of identity and give us the freedom to lead a more fulfilling life.

Hello, my name is Chris. I am in my forties and left a corporate job to retrain as a psychotherapist. I understand the stresses and strains of today’s busy lifestyles. Constantly feeling under pressure can result in loneliness and feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Having experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I wanted to become a fully qualified therapist.

Are you finding it difficult to cope? Perhaps life's pressures have left you feeling depressed or feeling increasingly stressed and anxious? All too often modern living can leave us with very little space to reflect about our own needs. Our relationships and health can suffer as a result. Psychotherapy can be helpful when emotional suffering becomes too much and at times of crisis when life can feel difficult or unmanageable. I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, particularly skilled in working with depression, anxiety and difficulties in couple relationships.

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.
