Specialising in couples and family issues, I address parenting struggles, trust issues, and conflict resolution.
Since 2009, I've been committed to supporting clients in their healing journey by offering talking therapy and conducting over 4000 successful EMDR sessions. Specialised training with Esther Perel enriches my marriage counselling approach, exploring issues like freedom versus security, struggles with intimacy and connection, emotional shutdowns, conflicts over finances and recurring arguments. In therapy, we start by understanding your story's narrative. We unravel underlying beliefs like "I'm not good enough," "It's my fault," and "I'm unsafe." Together, we collaborate to establish secure attachment and facilitate repair.

My background is in addictions and family work.
I practice under an integrative approach which means I draw from a variety of models and techniques of counselling and psychotherapy to ensure that anyone who comes to see me has the opportunity to be met and understood as a unique individual. I provide a safe, contained and confidential space, where you can explore your unique issues, providing a non-judgemental and supportive space for you to work at your own pace. The principal goal in therapy is to assist in the learning of trusting in your own process, which gives way to self-empowerment and the ability to make choices from a deeper part of yourself.

Couples & Family Therapy.
We believe therapy is most effective when it’s connected, consistent, and truly holistic. Too often, people seek support only to find themselves navigating a fragmented system—different therapists, different approaches, little communication. We set out to change that. Our team has worked together for many years, building deep trust and a shared approach to care. We understand that healing isn’t just about addressing symptoms—it’s about understanding the whole person, creating space for growth, and supporting meaningful, lasting change. We offer a fully integrated and collaborative approach to therapy.

I'm a Certified Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist (EFCT) and Individual Therapist (EFIT). EFT is a very effective, evidence based approach that is deeply informed by attachment theory and is so successful in helping people become more aware of their emotional experience and get better at self-regulating and navigating difficult feelings.

I know high-striving, ambitious individuals want to do it all, at the same time - but hustling and resting later is not a recipe for success, it's a slippery slope towards burnout. I will help you let go of the pressure of perfection and overproductivity, so you can you burn bright, not burn out.

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.
