I work with individual adults and couples seeking support with their relationships.
Are you fed up with trying to work things out by yourself and finding that you are going round in circles?  Or feeling confused or stuck with a situation you are facing?   I invite you to contact me for a free 20 minute consultation, where you can share what is happening and we can find out how we might work together. I will provide you with a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space where you can share what feels difficult for you and the impact this may be having on your own sense of wellbeing or your relationships.

Perhaps you are hoping to find and develop relationships that are more meaningful or are struggling with a relationship you were or indeed are in. You may be experiencing feelings of anxiety or dissatisfaction with life. There may be problems at work that require an impartial caring ear or you may be feel there are questions about sexuality that you would like to consider. It could be that you want to look at your general mood or maybe there is simply the need to unpick your thoughts. In any instance, people often find that simply talking to another person about how they are feeling is helpful.

I have many years experience working with a wide range of psychological, emotional and mental health problems and specialise in working with depression, anxiety, trauma and couples .
My interest in Psychotherapy began many years ago when I embarked on a philosophical journey of self-discovery to gain a better understanding of myself and life. My interests developed into the works of existential thinkers Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean Paul Sartre.The Existential approach is a philosophical method of therapy that operates on the belief that inner conflict within a person is due to that individual's confrontation with the givens of existence. At the time, I had a great need to understand my own existence and how my values gave meaning to my life

My relationship work has the same principles in mind, but is particularly useful in exploring how people relate to each other and how what each has brought with them into the relationship , impacts upon it.
Sometimes it is difficult to make sense of our lives; we may not like or understand how we behave or react, but feel unable to change. Sometimes a part of us may feel overwhelmed by life events, feel anxious or depressed, or struggle with difficult relationships Deciding to meet with a therapist can be an important step in helping you to make changes and move forward in life. A therapist will provide a reflective space, where you can speak your mind and explore your difficulties.

My aim is to offer a safe, secure relationship in which we explore these difficulties together.
I am an Attachment Psychotherapist which means that I help you explore your past and present experiences that may have affected you in some way. Sometimes our experiences can leave us feeling insecure or lacking in confidence, making it difficult to form or sustain healthy relationships or cope with everyday life. Talking this through with a psychotherapist can help you to understand and value yourself more. It is not the job of a psychotherapist to tell you what to do but to offer you different perspectives and a different experience of relating.

I have experience supporting adults and young people that have faced mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, abuse, relationship issues.
I believe that every client is unique, so I like to tailor the sessions to you and your needs. I know how dauting it can be to trust and open up to a new person, therefore I offer a warm, confidential and safe space where you can unpack your thoughts and issues, encouraging you to gain a better understanding of your inner thoughts and concerns without the fear of being judged. Sometimes, but not always, we might look at the past and see how it has impacted and influenced your present. I believe that with the right support everyone has the ability to move towards the best version of themselves.

Couples Counselling

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.
