Everyone's life experience is unique and important and often this can create questions in our minds on how these influence our life and choices now. These may be questions from childhood, trauma based, gender or sexuality questioning, anxiety, loss or a neurodiversity. You may feel that the day-to-day is simply overwhelming or tainted by those life experiences. Sometimes, when those hard times flow into our every day life it may feel that you are unable to be happy, think clearly or feel able to cope. In the safety of your own home (or a space that works for you) we can explore and process this together.

Every person has their own unique therapeutic experience. No two experiences are the same because no two people and their stories are the same. Your therapeutic experience will be what you make of it, however the process is made easier by the type of relationship you have with your therapist. It is therefore essential that you find the right person with whom you share your therapeutic journey. Rather than applying a “one-size-fits-all” approach, I tailor my approach to the person that you are.

Life can be complex and challenging at times. We may feel anxious, sad, lost or overwhelmed by our relationship, work, loss of a loved one, lack of confidence or low self-worth. We may find ourselves struggling with depression, insecurity, lack of sleep, infidelity, shame, infertility and we lose hope that we'll ever feel differently again. It's at times like these that you may have wondered how psychotherapy can help you. You may feel nervous about seeking help, which is quite normal. However, you'll find a relaxed and warm atmosphere while working with me.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
