I support both individuals and couples with range of issues including abuse, anxiety, stress, communication problems, depression, relationship issues, self-confidence, trust and workplace issues.
The decision to start counselling can be daunting. The relationship between the client and counsellor is important and together we will aim to establish a safe, trusting, supportive and confidential environment in which you can explore any aspect of difficulty that you are currently experiencing in your life with a view to making positive and lasting change.

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.

Dual-qualified Relationship Psychotherapist and Relational Executive Coach to couples, individuals, senior leaders and co-founders, whose closest personal or alternatively purely business relationship is in crisis or has reached a tipping point.
Transforming relationship dynamics where the stakes are high - whether personal ( couple, adult siblings, parent with adult child), or business (co-founders, family business, board/SLT dynamics) - is my focus and expertise. I draw widely and deeply to tease out conflicting needs and agendas and address the subtle art of evoking insight and building trust.

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 help with anxiety, depression, identity issues and difficult relationship patterns.
I work with individuals to identify the underlying patterns shaping their lives, often outside conscious awareness.
Drawing on an integrative framework that includes psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking, Internal Family Systems (parts work), Jungian perspectives, CBT-informed behavioural restructuring, hypnotherapy, and trauma-focused approaches, I am able to rapidly detect the structures driving anxiety, stagnation, or repeated life difficulties.

I work with individuals or couples on a range of issues.
Welcome. You've taken the first step. I believe the genuinely supportive presence of another is invaluable; particularly one who is removed from our everyday life, and thus can listen with a completely open attitude. It feels particularly good to be received in this way; our guard can finally drop and in so doing we learn new things about ourselves. There's no deeper way to self-understanding than this. We change to the degree to which we can, unflinchingly, look at ourselves in this way. My aim is to facilitate this process by helping to provide such a space.

Are you someone who looks like they’re coping on the outside, but inside things feel harder than they should. Anxiety, past experiences, or self-doubt can quietly shape how you think, feel, and respond, even when you’re trying your best to move forward.
I offer a space where we can slow things down and make sense of what’s happening, without judgement or pressure. From there, we begin to work through it. Using approaches such as CBT, EMDR & counselling, the aim isn’t just to talk, but to help you experience change in how you feel, think, and respond so life begins to feel more manageable and more like your own again.

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.
