Couples Counselling in Teddington
I offer individuals and couples a warm, supportive, confidential setting to talk about emotional difficulties which may be troubling them in their lives and relationships.
Relationships come in all shapes and sizes, and I encourage couples to value what they have achieved together while addressing current challenges. Some of the work involves looking at assumptions that have gone unexplored between partners. Loss and regret, if approached reflectively, can be the precursor to an enhanced enjoyment of life and relationships.

I collaborate with parents and carers who may be feeling frustrated, worried & stuck in unhelpful habits who are finding relationships challenging. I am particularly skilled at helping with aggressive child & teen behaviour.

I have experience in working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, self harm, low self esteem, attachment issues, early years abuse/trauma, personality disorders, post traumatic disorders, OCD and unexplained physical symptoms. If you have any difficulties of this nature or just feel a bit stuck in your life talking it through with a trained professional can be very helpful. It will help you to make sense of your situation and by developing a better understanding of yourself solutions may well begin to surface.

My first training in therapy was ‘Person Centred’. This therapy places emphasis on providing a safe, empathic, non-judgemental space to discuss whatever is troubling you. I have come to specialise in Trauma and Complex PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). EMDR is clinically proven to heal all kinds of traumatic experiences. More recently, I have begun to incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory into my practice as it helps to identify different parts of ourselves that can sometimes be in conflict.

Psychotherapy is not a hierarchical relationship whereby the psychotherapist knows more than the client.
I don't believe that there is one method of psychotherapy that suits everyone. I believe in adapting my way of working for each client I meet. You may feel that you want to work short-term on a specific aspect of your life. You may feel that you want to take time to look back on your early life experiences or you may not know where to start or where you are going. Whatever your situation is, I will do my best to see the world as you do and, where possible, offer you an alternative perspective. I believe the same is true for children and using sand tray and art materials I allow children to process their emotions through play.

I also work with mixed-race and intercultural couples navigating differences in communication, attachment, belonging, family dynamics, and values.
My style is warm, thoughtful, discreet, and culturally attuned. Together, we look beneath the surface: at the patterns you have learned, the roles you have had to play, the parts of yourself you may have adapted or hidden, and the kind of life and relationships you now want to build.

I have also learnt that creating an environment to help my clients feel safe is essential in building an effective relationship.

Such feelings can be triggered by a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, abuse (recent or historic), self-esteem and low confidence, relationship issues, or health anxiety. Together we can work through these difficult feelings.

Hello there. When we meet, I'll be interested in listening to your story and more importantly what brings you to therapy. Perhaps you are looking for some sort of peace within yourself or with your situation. Maybe you don't feel right and haven't done for a while but don't feel able to change. Sometimes life can be difficult to cope with. Therapy gives you the opportunity to slow down and reflect upon where you are at. It is a good way to check out how you really feel and the source of your discomfort. If you are looking for change then I will empathically support you through that process.

I work with professional people, either couples or individuals who are struggling in their relationships.
As a Couple Therapist I help couples to make sense of their difficulties together. Most couples come feeling stuck in patterns of relating that are unhelpful, often blaming each other for the situation they are in. I can help to reduce the blame and bring awareness to the dynamics at play that keep the negative cycles in operation.

Have imposter syndrome, “what’s next” syndrome, inner loneliness, powerlessness, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, guilt, insecurity, relationship difficulties, or unresolved grief and loss become unbearable?
I am an integrative psychotherapist with sound personal and professional acumen. In our true encounter, you may explore your vision of the world, your attachment patterns, what underpins your decision making, or how you deal with losses and setbacks. You will be empowered to challenge your inner critic to limit its influences in all aspects of your life.

My work draws on many different models including: Person-Centred Therapy - establishing our relationship so that we can get results as quickly and easily as possible Transactional Analysis - analysing the workings of your relationships The Psychodynamic Models - examining your past’s impact on your present Mindfulness - an integrative, mind-body approach to stress that supports individuals to change.
I'm here to help you get different results. Whether you're experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem, we can work it out - sometimes within just 4 to 6 sessions. Maybe you've already identified some repeating patterns in your life that lead you where you don't want - or like - to be; maybe you feel like a puppet on strings, knowing unseen forces are pulling you but unable to identify quite what they are and thus break free? I'll work with you on your behavioural patterns, starting with identifying them (either you can explain them to me or we can identify them together) then looking at their sources and identifying ways of breaking free of them.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
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.
