Whatever your idea or experience of therapy is, I will work with you to help achieve your goals and explore your troubles at your own pace. It could be anxiety, depression, questions around identity, self esteem, or you could be going through a difficult time, please don't hesitate to reach out. My career path in care (people of all ages and animals) has landed me in a profession where I can still be true to my values and apply my natural yet professional stance with empathy, compassion and transparency.

Whatever it is you are suffering with: trauma, abuse, bereavement, climate distress, anxiety or depression, you do not have to suffer alone. Maybe you are neurodiverse and feel misunderstood or burnt out from masking. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore areas of your life that it can be difficult to share with others. We can think together about what gets in the way of your ability to thrive, express yourself, find satisfying relationships or find meaning and purpose in life and what steps might be taken in order to move forward.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples identify in their relationship where things are going wrong .
I am an experienced Couples Counsellor and have helped many couples to get their relationship back on track. Couples I see are often struggling with a sense of 'Where has our love gone?' Feeling desperately disconnected from one another they have lost the ability to communicate without falling into old familiar patterns and arguments. Together we will work at looking at the cycle you get caught in and how to recognise this so you can stop it. We will find new ways of communicating so you can hear each other and respond differently. This will help strengthen bonds and connection so you can begin to enjoy life together again.

As a dedicated couples therapist, I specialize in helping partners reconnect, communicate effectively, and rebuild trust using a blend of evidence-based approaches - primarily Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
While these frameworks provide powerful tools, I believe each couple's journey is unique, and therefore, treatment must be tailored to fit the distinct needs, histories, and goals of the individuals involved. I take time to truly understand each couple's dynamic, offering personalized guidance and strategies that honor their specific experiences.

I use a mixture of models to work with couples, parents and families, particularly emotionally focused therapy techniques ( EFT) with couples and non-violent resistance (NVR), which is a brilliant approach to reducing conflict and aggression in families.
I'm Gemma. I'm a clinical psychologist with a passion for working with families and wider systems around people. I work with couples, and parents who are struggling with the behaviour of their children, particularly aggression or other risky behaviours. I also work with couples who are experiencing significant levels of conflict and harmful or abusive behaviour. Sometimes, my work is with parents who have separated and are trying to work out how to reduce the impact of this separation on their children, or repair or reconstruct relationships that have become strained or distant.

My approach is integrative, which means that I draw on a number of psychological theories and/or coaching approaches including: EMDR, IFS, existentialism, solution focused, emotionally focused, person centred and strengths based.
Hi I'm Susie. I believe that relationships are really important. We encounter lots of different relationships over the course of our lives: friends, siblings, parents, bosses, co-workers…and then there’s the relationship we have with ourselves. Our unique life experiences inform our thoughts, feelings and behaviours; and sometimes we can get stuck in outdated patterns. Common mental health conditions such as: depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, and addiction, are often symptoms of the effects of adverse life experiences. Treating the underlying causes of whichever symptoms are affecting you can dramatically reduce their impact.

Emotionally Focused Counsellors

Who is emotionally focused therapy for?

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.

Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?

People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.

What happens in emotionally focused therapy?

Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.

What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?

EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
