You may be seeking counselling or psychotherapy for any number of reasons. Perhaps something specific has happened to you that you would like to talk about. Perhaps you don't really know what is wrong, but you are aware of feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or stressed and feel you would like some support in working through and exploring what might be informing those feelings. In both, and all cases, my approach as a Psychotherapist is to work in a way which provides a safe, empathetic and confidential space, where you and I can together, explore what has brought you to therapy, and help you get back on track.

Many of the couples and partners I work with feel like they’ve lost their way together. Arguments may repeat in familiar cycles, or silence has replaced communication. Some arrive in crisis — after betrayal or distance has grown — while others simply want to feel closer again but aren’t sure how. My clients often describe feeling unheard, unseen, or caught in patterns they can’t shift, no matter how hard they try. Beneath the surface conflict, there’s usually a longing to reconnect, to understand each other better, and to feel emotionally safe again. Some couples hope to rebuild and move forward together; others are unsure whether

Do you have a sense of feeling confused, stuck or disappointed? Perhaps you want to talk about a disturbing loss or new circumstances. You might be pursuing an unfamiliar role or new goal. Some people come to see me suffering from a lack of meaning or enjoyment in their lives. My particular interest is in people who are facing a change in their identity – perhaps a loss – or transition to a new stage in life. I also work with people who don’t yet know what the matter is – or feel like everything has gone wrong.

I am an integrative counsellor with experience in both the private and NHS sectors, working with adults and young people. In my experience, many clients come for counselling for help with depression and anxiety caused by difficulties within relationships, friendships, work-based stress as well as isolation and loneliness. By gently encouraging and challenging them to face up to their fears and concerns, they achieve greater insight and self-knowledge and gain a larger perspective on their situation. Through this they come to realise that there are other options and choices available to them through which they may improve well-being

Life, and what we experience, can sometimes overwhelm us, bringing to the surface underlying issues that maybe you hadn't realised are there. Maybe you can't figure out why you feel the way you do. Whatever issues you’re experiencing – from anxiety, to bereavement, stress, low self-esteem, life changes, depression, abuse, addiction, or other trauma – I offer a confidential one-to-one counselling service to help you work through them. You can talk through your problems, and explore emotional problems in a safe, non-judgmental and confidential setting.

My goal is for you to leave each session with greater understanding and a sense of progress, no matter how small.

Each person is unique and distinctive and therefore one approach may not fit them all. I place the client-therapist relationship at the heart of an effective therapeutic process providing an honest and non-judgmental stance where your feelings can be expressed and contained in a safe and confidential setting. You might want to make sense of the past and explore how it can sometimes be reconstructed in the present or you might seek to get back in touch with your real self through acceptance and a better mind-body connection.

My work is underpinned by Attachment Theory, Neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems and Psychodynamic concepts.
Internal Family Systems Therapy empowers you to understand the different “parts” of your inner world with curiosity rather than judgment. By accessing a calm and compassionate sense of Self, IFS activates neural pathways linked to safety, emotional regulation, and integration, allowing old patterns to soften and healing to unfold.

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.
