Therapy helped me better understand myself, my relationships, my feelings, and confront my fears.
I work by building a trusting relationship together from the start. Whether using short, focussed, or open-ended therapy, I bring a genuine optimism to help you reach your goals. It’s also a big decision to choose therapy and which therapist may work for you. So I offer a free, initial 15-minute online, or phone assessment to help make that process easier.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying so much on your own. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure of who you are anymore. Or perhaps you just know that something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to start. Whatever you're facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Sessions are relaxed and conversational; no pressure, just space to talk.

I specialise in working with anxiety, stress and relationships.
I am a transactional analysis psychotherapist and counsellor. I always appreciate that it takes courage to seek support and the first step can seem daunting. Therapy can help to organise your thoughts and feelings and free you from repeated patterns of behaviour that prevent you from leading a happier and more fulfilling life. You can learn to understand why those patterns are there and how to change them, so that they no longer control what you are trying to achieve for yourself. I work online and face to face (depending on availability of space). The virtual setting is calm, confidential and safe.

I work with couples on issues of infidelities, communication and decision making.
You may be ready for something to change, even if you’re unsure of what that looks like yet. You may know you are struggling with anxiety, burnout, depression, or may be unable to say what is wrong but simply have a sense that something isn’t quite right. The people I work with are often professionals under high pressure in both their work and personal lives. Together, we'll explore what’s happening beneath the surface, helping you make sense of your experiences and move towards greater clarity and balance. The beginning of finding that clarity starts simply by talking it through together.

I offer one-to-one and couples' therapy both exclusively online at the present time.
Being human, it is only natural we are continuously faced with life's numerous challenges. Painful emotions, such as fear, sadness, grief, frustration, anger and many more show up in response to life's challenges and we have all been 'well-trained' to go for 'fixing' or 'controlling' these responses in the quickest way possible. Ironically, it is this urge to control such painful internal experiences, that often creates and in fact exacerbates our struggles! I am here to help you gain new skills to manage difficult internal experiences in a more helpful manner so you can start living your life more fully.

Couples Counselling Counsellors
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.
