While I consider a sound theoretical structure to be essential for the ethic therapist, my approach is first and foremost relationship-driven.
I work with the full spectrum of human pain and confusion, from feeling lost about your life circumstances to symptoms of neurosis and psychosis. One of the fundamental tasks of therapy is to create a space where we can meet ourselves – to discover who we are. This is what I ultimately strive to create for my patients, in the human encounter of the therapy room (be it online or in person). All life issues are explored together in a spirit of acceptance, dialogue and openness. In psychoterapy we can cry, or laugh – sometimes at the same time. We are human to human, with all our complexity, different and yet similar, unjudgementally.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist who has worked for many years with a wide range of life issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, family difficulties and loss and bereavement.
My approach is psychodynamic. I will work with you to resolve existing or historic difficulties by exploring not only conscious thoughts, feelings and experiences, but also those you may not be fully aware of, which might be impacting your life. These could be repetitive thought patterns, unhelpful behaviours, or beliefs or ideas you hold about yourself.

Building and establishing a trusting relationship is absolutely key to the way I work.
I hope to provide you with a sense of how I work in this profile. I am a skillful, diligent and sensitive therapist. I´ve worked for over 25 years in mental health. I have a particular interest in the way many of us still live our lives in "survival mode" and struggle to thrive. My approach is gentle yet challenging. Our work will be determined by the changes you wish to effect in your life and the pace that feels safest to you. We may explore past experiences and the way in which you adapted to "survive" - adaptations that are still present in your day to day life. This is described as a "trauma-informed" approach.

I will listen to your story and, together, we will look into the formative experiences that have shaped you - your upbringing, your relationships, the environments you’ve lived in, your hopes and fears.
At certain times, we all struggle to understand who we are, what we need or want, who our true friends and allies are. We may struggle to connect to others - to be intimate or to be fully present. We may wonder about what is going on in our body and mind, why we can’t find clarity and peace. While some issues we face are existential and universal, some are more of our own making or resulting from our particular conditioning. Therapy can help us to distinguish between the (sometimes hard) truths that need to be accepted and the distorted beliefs that need to be challenged.

My approach is integrative, drawing on different schools of thought, including psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive/behavioural, to find what works best for each client, the issues that arise and the stage of our therapeutic relationship.
I help people to feel better about themselves and empowered to make positive changes to their lives. Being truly heard (perhaps for the first time) by someone who will never judge, dictate to, or betray you, can be a profoundly healing experience. With growing trust and commitment, negative thoughts and feelings can be explored, understood and overcome. Regrets about the past and fears for the future can be replaced by fulfilment in the present.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
What types of relationship issues can therapists help with?
Therapists who specialise in relationships work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues. Common concerns include communication problems, infidelity, intimacy difficulties, and navigating major life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, or caregiving. Family therapists may also address parent–child conflict, sibling rivalry, or other complex family dynamics.

What are the different types of therapy for relationship issues?
Relationship issues can be addressed through different types of therapy depending on whether you’re seeking help as an individual, couple, or family. In individual therapy, the focus is often on helping an individual understand how their own patterns, attachment style, and past experiences may be shaping their current relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are three common forms of individual treatment that can help individuals understand their current relationship dynamics and improve their relationship quality. Couples therapy often uses other forms of evidence-based treatment, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or the Gottman Method. Rather than focusing on the individual, these approaches focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening emotional bonds between individuals in a relationship. Similarly, family therapy often focuses on communication but also examines how larger-scale dynamics—such as how parenting styles, generational differences, or sibling roles—may shape family relationships.

What actually happens in a therapy session for relationship issues?
The structure of a session depends on whether therapy involves one person or multiple people. In individual sessions, the focus may be on exploring personal patterns, role-playing difficult conversations, practicing listening skills, or setting goals for handling conflict. In couples or family sessions, each person is encouraged to share their perspective while the therapist helps uncover underlying emotions, highlight unhelpful interaction patterns, and guide more constructive communication.

How can I find an effective relationship therapist?
Finding a therapist who is a good fit for your needs, either for individual, couples, or family therapy, is critical to ensure effective therapy. Psychology Today’s online directory makes it easy to search for therapists who specialise in relationship issues, as well as related topics like marriage counselling. The platform offers filters to help you find a provider who fits your needs, such as gender, location, and fees. While the Psychology Today directory also offers the ability to filter by insurance type, it’s important to note that insurance may not cover many types of relationship therapy, such as couples counselling, so it’s important to inquire with your insurance plan about specific coverage details if intending to use insurance for therapy.
