Counselling can seem a challenge if you have never sought this kind of help before, but my aim at the outset is to provide the beginnings of a therapeutic relationship which can open the door to an exploration of experience of the past, as well as the present.
As a trained Trauma Informed therapist I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment. As a bereavement counsellor, my specialist area is bereavement through suicide. Bereavement and loss can be bewildering experiences producing many deeply troubling feelings which we work through together.

You work hard, you enjoy work and you have meaningful relationships, but something is missing.
I work with clients to help them achieve a sense of internal calm. So often clients don't know exactly what they are feeling, just that it isn't good and they don't want to feel this way any longer. Together we get to the source of your discomfort. And gently we begin to understand how it shows up in your day to day.

It may be a deep-rooted issue that goes back to childhood, a past relationship or a trauma.
Having a place where we can allow ourselves time and a calm space to think, talk and work things out can be absolutely priceless. We might find ourselves able to unpick past experiences or to bring up something we have never before shared with anyone else despite its effect on us. These and many other issues can be addressed in the therapy room.

Do you feel emotionally drained, lost, or disconnected from yourself? Or maybe everything is going right in your life, but you feel something is missing? I can help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and find a way forward. With experience working in addiction and recovery, I have developed a deeper understanding of how coping behaviours, emotional pain, and past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others. Whether or not addiction is part of your story, these patterns can show up in many different ways, and together we can begin to make sense of them.

I can help people who are experiencing all levels of distress and unhappiness. You may have feelings of dissatisfaction and a sense that you are not getting all that you want in your life. At the other end of the spectrum you may be finding that every day is a real struggle with strong, even overwhelming, feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, anger etc. I believe that all of us want to strive to feel happier and more fulfilled than we currently are. We want to feel a connection with other people and to have a sense that we are leading meaningful, enjoyable lives - even when at times we feel at a loss as to how to achieve this.

Couples Counselling Counsellors
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.
