Couples Counselling in St Albans

I am a fully qualified and experienced Integrative Psychotherapist/Counsellor offering individual or couples therapy face to face or online, I am also a counselling supervisor. Taking the first steps to access counselling may feel a little overwhelming but this can lead to increased self esteem and knowledge, better relationships with loved ones and a greater quality of life. I offer a safe, warm and comfortable environment to work together to explore what may be going on for you and discover opportunities for change.

Is it time to talk to someone? Are you suffering from anxiety or depression? I'm an experienced, qualified BACP registered psychotherapist and level 7 (the highest level) counsellor and a UKCP Full Clinical Psychotherapist. I provide general therapy for whatever is making you less than content, plus various specialisms (see below). Therapy lets you clear the mist, see the real issues, and make positive changes. Is now the time to invest in your future contentment and happiness? I believe that therapy should be friendly, supportive, confidential, and healing, allowing you to find your true self. I work with individuals and couples .

In the 30 years since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist, I have worked with people in both physical and mental health services I have substantial experience in helping and supporting children, young people, parents, adults, couples , families who are experiencing difficulties in life. I have a strong belief that people are inherently resilient and resourceful, and that with the right help and support people can overcome their problems and lead a happy and fulfilling life. In all my work I aim to help people to develop, restore or strengthen connections with those who are important in their lives.

I offer therapy to adults, young people, and couples . Counselling can help when we feel stuck, lost and overwhelmed and can’t find a way to make sense of those difficult feelings on our own. Speaking to someone who isn’t a friend or family member can help you to see a problem from a different perspective, without judgement or bias. You may be struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger or loss. Perhaps you'd like to find the mental tools to help give you greater resilience and confidence. Or you could be looking for ways to manage conflict and improve communication within your personal relationships.

I offer a safe and confidential space for you to talk openly about any issues which may be causing you distress or concern in your life. It is not unusual for people to feel depressed or anxious at some stage in their life. Sometimes this can be related to a particular life event, other times these feelings can seem to come from nowhere. These periods can feel never ending and intense and often result in leaving you feeling isolated, confused stuck and struggling. Working with individuals, young people and couples , I provide short term solution focused therapy as well as long term therapy for issues needing more exploration.

You may be going through a time of difficulty or distress. Or perhaps there is some dissatisfaction in your life and you have lost a sense of purpose or direction. My aim is to help you reflect on what is troubling you, help you to seek an understanding of what you are experiencing and work with you to explore what options there are at this difficult time.

Counselling can help bring clarity where there is confusion, resolve past issues, change behaviours and improve relationships. I work particularly effectively with couples , providing you and your partner with a safe and emphatic space to assist you in exploring the difficult issues you're facing in your relationship, whatever your age, gender or sexual orientation. This includes individually tailored sessions, regular relationship maintenance and relationship improvement sessions.

Problems are personal, bereavement, depression, stress, relationship breakdowns and anxiety can all feel unbearable and isolating. The reasons for seeking counselling or psychotherapy are as unique and varied as we are. Sometimes we have an idea of what is annoying or upsetting us. Sometimes we struggle to understand issues that darken our days. We might enter a cycle of blame or self-loathing in which we get lost, finding it difficult to move forwards in our lives.

When facing relationship issues and crises, I work with my clients to resolve ongoing conflict, reach important decisions, and importantly; make desired changes.
