Are you and your partner caught in the same argument on repeat, Or perhaps you're navigating dating, intimacy, and relationships as a neurodivergent adult.
With couples, I work on the things that quietly wear a relationship down: communication that turns into conflict, disconnection, and the loss of intimacy . As a trained sex therapist, I hold both the relational and the sexual side of these difficulties, including differences in desire and shame. I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.

With couples - communication issues, expectations, affairs, adjusting to life events, carers commitments.
My background is rooted in the power of relationships and care, in the process of healing, gained from my vocation in nursing (both physical and mental health), counselling and psychotherapy.
Psychosynthesis training gave me focus to help clients to make intentional choices towards meaningful goals & healthier living, by working with body, mind and feelings

Our work will be uniquely shaped around who you are and what you bring, whether you come on your own or as a couple.
Life can be challenging and difficult at times.
Psychotherapy offers a space you can gift yourself — a space to be held, supported, and invited into new possibilities. I provide a safe, open, and thoughtful therapeutic environment where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what feels important.
Healing and growth often come through relationships in which we feel seen and understood. Difficulties and struggles can point us toward parts of our lives that are calling for attention, though this is not always easy to recognise when we are in the midst of them.

As an integrative psychotherapist trained in Psychosexual and Couples Therapy, I help men identify unconscious patterns that drive distance, sexual frustration or conflict, and build real fluency in their partner's psychology - the ability to read her, understand her and meet her, rather than manage around her.
I specialize in the emotional world of men navigating masculinity, fatherhood and partnerships while carrying high levels of responsibility. If you're reading this, you're likely capable and outwardly functioning well. But internally something feels off: disconnection, repeating patterns, distance in your close relationships. You want deeper connection, renewed intimacy and a grounded way of relating that's real, not performed. You may be navigating painful patterns you can't break, a sexless relationship or mismatched libido, balancing leadership demands with emotional presence at home or rebuilding after years of drift in midlife.

During these difficult times of coronavirus and lockdown, I am offering sessions via the phone, Skype, and FaceTime. They are accepted methods also within the NHS, where I originally learnt to work with them. I am an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist having worked extensively in the NHS but now work privately. My background in the NHS has made me comfortable working within a multicultural context (LGBT and BME) with a very wide age group of clients (18 -90). I have also studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can offer this separately.

My special interest is working with couples and families using systemic training as well as Terry Neal, Ester Perel and Dr Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy.
I have worked in the NHS for 25 years, across a variety of settings and am currently undertaking an MA in Family Therapy. Neuro-biology and Somatic psychology are also areas that inform my practice. This includes helping individuals to understand choices around mental health medication, how the body and mind are 'one' and are both informed by the 'fight or flight' response, attachment styles and survival strategies. I use NVR (Non-Violent Resolution) to support families and young people with challenging behaviours.

I work online with individuals and partners, on a long or short term basis.
I am a person-centred therapist who primarily works with people who are members of ENM, kink and LGBTQ+ communities. Each of these aspects of our identities are so multifaceted that it can feel overwhelming sometimes. I want to work with you to help you understand yourself, your needs and how to move towards that. Allowing ourselves to let go of who we were, embrace who we are and get out of old thinking patterns can be a lifelong mission, one that is much easier with support. I can work with you as you explore yourself. My practice is based on compassion and honesty, and collaboration is incredibly important to me.

FAQ - Marriage Counselling
What issues does marriage counselling help with?
Marriage counselling can address common relationship concerns, including ongoing conflict, communication challenges, emotional distance, or difficulty making decisions together. It may also be helpful for couples who are not currently experiencing major problems but want to prepare for future life changes. For more specific concerns affecting one individual in the relationship, such as trauma, depression, or significant substance use concerns, individual therapy may be more appropriate than marriage counselling.
When is the right time to start marriage counselling?
There is no single “right” time to start marriage counselling, but certain signs may suggest that counselling could be helpful. For example, a couple may benefit from counselling if many conversations end in conflict, if negative interactions are becoming more frequent, or if relationship stress is affecting other areas of life, such as sleep, work, parenting, or friendships. Some couples also seek counselling proactively. Premarital counselling, for instance, allows couples to discuss communication styles, finances, family dynamics, and future goals before getting married. Other couples may start counselling before a major life change, such as becoming parents, relocating, or navigating a stressful career transition.
Is marriage counselling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Marriage counselling may still help even if one partner is more hesitant to attend, as long as both people are ultimately willing to participate in sessions. Once counselling is underway, the more hesitant partner may become more open to sessions that can strengthen the relationship and build coping skills and communication strategies. If one partner refuses to attend, individual therapy may still help the other partner understand their needs, set boundaries, and decide how to approach the relationship.
Is online marriage counselling as effective as in-person?
There are differing opinions on the best format for marriage counselling. While some studies show that online marriage counselling can be as effective as in-person counselling, some argue that in-person counselling is more effective because it allows the therapist to better pick up on context and body language cues. In addition, in-person counselling may be a better fit for couples who are working through high-conflict issues. Ultimately, the “best” format depends on the couple’s specific needs and concerns.
What is faith-based marriage counselling and how is it different?
Faith-based marriage counselling incorporates a couple’s religious or spiritual beliefs into counselling. It may be a good fit for couples who want to discuss their relationship, values, and marriage within the context of their faith. For example, Christian marriage counselling may appeal to couples who want a counsellor familiar with Christian beliefs about marriage. Other forms of faith-based counselling may incorporate Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious perspectives into sessions.
How much does marriage counselling cost and is it covered by insurance?
Marriage counselling is usually paid for privately in Great Britain, rather than through the NHS, and sessions often cost around £60 to £120 or more. Fees depend on location, with costs generally higher in the London area, as well as counsellor experience, session length, and practice setting. However, lower-cost options may be available through sliding scale fees, which adjust the cost of counselling based on income, as well as through community clinics or non-profit organisations that offer reduced-cost services.
