Life can be challenging, especially in todays ever changing world. I have a wealth of experience from my own life journey. I have 3 degrees, which cover behaviour, neuroscience and the spiritual or transpersonal. Through counselling we can work together, to enhance your wellbeing, expand your awareness and raise your consciousness. I offer a place to get away from everything and talk while feeling safe without judgement. This can be a place to process what has gone on and learn how the world is perceived uniquely by you. Or if preferred online sessions that suit you.

Working together, at your own pace and on your terms, I can help you to change your inner and outer responses to things that happen in your life and your relationships.
Are you feeling worried, stuck, or held back by something that happened in the past? Maybe you feel inadequate in some way, or self conscious. Whatever your problem I'm here to help you feel better about yourself, and more deserving of the life you really want. It's surprising what can be achieved by simply devoting time to talking about your problems with someone who is trained to help you reflect. I'm an integrative counsellor which means that while we mainly talk about the here and now, I sometimes invite you to talk about your past too, in order for you to identify patterns - Your unique experiences effect how you see life.

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.
