If you are currently finding things hard, whether this be a recent event or experiences from the past, you are not alone. This is where support through counselling can help. Counselling provides a confidential space to share your concerns. Confronting your feelings is challenging but it can also be a very rewarding journey. I believe our relationship is a key element to therapy and that it’s important you feel comfortable with me. I take a warm, empathic approach to my therapeutic work. I aim to build a trusting relationship through our work together whilst creating a confidential space where you feel safe and understood.

Finding things difficult recently? Is it stress, anxiety, isolation, guilt, shame, low mood, controlling issues, fear of failure or negative judgement/criticism, uncertainty, lack of goals/motivation, no life purpose, feeling lost, low self-esteem/confidence/worth, sleeping difficulties, loss of a loved one, pleasing people, unable to say NO, lack of self acceptance? You are not alone! I'm here to listen! Life can challenge us all sometimes, but we can manage those issues and emotions by learning the right skills, make time for self-reflection, rethink our values and beliefs, and practice gratitude and compassion.

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 to me. 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 can support you to gently explore and understand all your relationships to live the life you want. Helping you to develop a healthy communication style and set healthy boundaries within your relationships, building relationships built on respect, trust and kindness. When we live holding our thoughts and feelings inside we can become anxious, depressed or angry. When we are able to say what we think and feel, we feel heard and seen but most importantly, we feel connected to others.

Let it be anxiety, depression, parenthood, general worries, grief or another specific theme that you have in mind, nothing is too little to be explored in therapy. Taking the first step towards entering therapy might not always be easy, being vulnerable in front of a stranger might be intimidating. My goal as a therapist is to give clients a safe, empathic, warm and non-judgemental space so that we can speak freely and you can have the psychological support you need, may this be in a short-term therapy concept or longer term.

My Clients over the last 18 years have ranged from having simple symptoms ( i.e. sleep disturbances, anxiety about interviews or social anxiety ) to severe symptoms (i.e. severe depression, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality or sexual abuse). My clients are looking for tools that will help them reduce or eliminate those symptoms but they are also wanting to develop long term functional habits that will help them lead a healthier life. Most of my clients are highly functional but they are struggling with emotional issues in their relationships with childhood abuse, addictions, fears, self-esteem and others.

Family Therapy Counsellors

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
