I trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) which is a social psychology that looks at a person's personality, communication style and their relationships, how these have been shaped by their experiences.
M Scott Peck wrote in the "Road Less Travelled" ... "Life is difficult". We all have times when we get stuck, we're overwhelmed, not sure where to turn and loose sleep. During these periods, we need some help, some me time with someone who is going to listen, not judge and offer them the support they need, in order to develop insights into "why this is happening" and to help them find the solutions to make a change, to get to a happier place.

In my private practice I work with adults 1:1 and with couples, supporting people to navigate life’s challenges and facilitate change.
My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centred, collaborative and evidence-led. This means I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, be heard, and start to make sense of what you’re experiencing. I will listen carefully, reflect with you, and ask thoughtful questions to help you develop understanding and find direction.

I help those who seek clarity about their situation, through discussion of the challenges. Viewing issues from multiple perspectives, including evidence based models helps you to get things more in perspective, more malleable, and more manageable. I see to your needs & provide resources as you transition, while we face issues together, & grow your capacity to journey beyond me. This may involve an exploration of the past, or practical focus on here & now strategies & approaches, which influence the map of your life journey you are carving.

Through open and honest dialogue we can focus collaboratively on the unique relationship you have with life's challenges, exploring how you experience adversity and relate to purpose and meaning in everything you do (or don't do!).
I specialise in areas including sexual identity and ethics, intimacy and connection, pornography use, relational dynamics, cultural and/or religious tension, belonging, addiction, and major life transitions. My work also includes supporting individuals affected by violence, exploitation, uprootedness and expatriation, bereavement, living with life-limiting illness, and periods of personal crisis. I have additional experience working with young adults (18+) navigating transitions, substance use, identity, bullying, and their sense of belonging.

Together, we explore what’s really going on - your thoughts, emotions, and the things that matter most to you. This isn’t about being told what to do, but about finding clarity in your own voice, making decisions that feel authentic and sustainable and stepping into the next chapter of your life with greater confidence and direction.

Yet for me every new client (or clients if you are a couple) marks the beginning of a new journey, a chance to experience the world from yet another perspective.
I offer you a safe place to explore your emotions and the issues that trouble you and will work with you to find solutions which will improve your life. Therapy with me is about preparing to make changes. I will help you release the thoughts that trouble you, your fears and despair and help you contain those most intense feelings so we can look deeper into the reasons why you are not functioning as you would like to. We can't always change the way those around us behave, but we can change our attitude to life and to others.

I have experience working with clients from gender, sexual & relationship diverse backgrounds.
I have found that interpersonal relationship issues often intersect with deeper themes, such as patterns of relating formed in childhood, feelings of anxiety or overwhelm, identity exploration, or a sense of being stuck. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore these interconnected areas together and work toward positive change.

I work with both individuals and couples.
As a couple, it may be that a sudden event has caused a rift to open up between you both and this has compromised your ability to trust and communicate. Or perhaps there has been a growing distance and there is a desire for one or both of you to reconnect and become more intimate. Perhaps you want different things and it is hard to see a future together.

Couples Counselling
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.
