In the sessions I combine a range of skills, working together with couples and individuals at their own peace.
Psychotherapy is a tool for self-discovery and understanding of self and others. Life is a continuous journey of ups and downs. Understanding ourselves and others better brings resilience and gives us the strength to face challenges. Perhaps you feel you want to discover yourself. Or you are facing new challenges that you want to overcome, control, get a better outcome from them, or get over them. Or maybe you want to make some sense of some old matters that still influence your life, or to take control of some ongoing ones.

Working with young people, adults and couples, supporting clients through wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, coping with grief & loss.
My approach draws on the warmth of Person-centred counselling together with psychodynamic insight, allowing exploration of underlying causes of difficulties. Together they offer a balance of present-moment support and deeper self-understanding in a supportive space. Working in this way can support you to feel heard, understood, and empowered to make change.

Are you looking for a counsellor who is not only experienced but also truly affirming of your gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity? If you’ve experienced trauma, you may be seeking someone who is informed and experienced. You deserve to feel safe, understood, and supported as you bring your whole self into therapy, without the need to educate your counsellor about your identities. I bring a wealth of experience in both these areas, shaped by my clinical practice, my research on LGBTQIA+ health, and my academic background.

The client is the most important person in a counselling relationship, my job is to help you feel valued, and understood so you also believe this. My ideal client will want to work towards processing their feelings, achieving their goals and be willing to work with me to make this happen. I like to work with clients that are struggling with making sense of life. Feeling unable to move on from past experiences, having that space and time to reflect and process things can make a huge difference. I enjoy cultivating an environment to help my clients work through life's challenges.

As an integrative, systemic psychologist, I can pick-up where many other therapies end, offering a variety of trauma-sensitive interventions to unlock & processes entrenched conflict & distress within individuals, couples, families and broader systems.
With 25yrs experience, I now seek to work with three main client groups. 1) Clients who've reached a deeper understanding of their issues, symptoms & diagnoses (via therapy &/or self-help etc), but have found that these insights have not been sufficient to end their distress. 2) Parents/carers/educators struggling with youngsters who can be violent or self-destructive, for whom traditional reward & punishment approaches fail to help (or indeed actually escalate the problem). 3) Parent-child reluctance/refusal dynamics. I can help parents who are experiencing, ‘parental alienation’, and equally, those being falsely accused of it.

Marriage Counselling

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
