I work with a range of issues predominantly involving relationships and family issues such as, communication, self-identity, parenting styles, domestic abuse, infidelity, sexual issues, sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem/confidence and Collaborative Life Coaching.
My specialism is working with Couples and Families. My aim is to help you work through issues and resolve past and/or current conflicts. Each person has their own perception of what has gone wrong in the family or relationship and you are given time and space to explore and express these thoughts and feelings without blame or recrimination from others. I offer you a safe and neutral space in the presence of your loved one(s) for you to claim your identity and step into your true potential.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, have experienced trauma or loss, or there are simply too many life-events happening at once, come and talk. Discussing your thoughts will help to put them into perspective and make them feel less overwhelming. Often, we don't like to approach those closest to us as we may feel they might judge us by what we say, or be offended or upset. This is the time when talking to a therapist is most beneficial. I will be there to help you review your feelings, understand their basis, and find the best way to improve your situation.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in Wokingham. This kind of therapy is based on the idea that what we experience as a difficulty in the present may point to an unconscious problem with roots in the past. You may find you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, self-destructive behaviour or difficulties in relationships and want to have a better understanding of what underpins these issues.

Every individual brings a unique set of issues, but it's usually mental or emotional distress that leads you to seek therapy. Some short-term relief can be gained, but developing your strength and inner emotional resources can take time, so you can confront and manage your challenges.

We go to the dentist to check and care for our teeth and the optician to check and care for our eyes; why not prioritise our minds - the most important part of us.

I support a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, loss, trauma, depression and problems with confidence or self-esteem.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
