Short and long term trauma-informed counselling and EMDR for individuals. Couples counselling. Supervision for counsellors. I provide a non-judgemental, safe and holding space where you can get an insight into your problems and symptoms. Trauma-informed counselling is not about finding what's "wrong" with you; it is about helping you to understand how your past experiences are contributing to your current problems and supporting you to find your own way in moving forward in life. I am a qualified EMDR practitioner and have an extensive experience in working with trauma survivors in private practice and larger organisations.

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you... (Jean-Paul Sartre) I believe therapy not only offers a space for processing confused, difficult or painful feelings but also aids self-discovery and development. I offer a safe space for my clients where they may explore things they have never talked about before. My priority is to provide a confidential, empathic and accepting atmosphere in which my client is free to question, reflect upon and express their true and unique self. I do this by developing a therapeutic connection with my client so that I accompany them on their journey side by side.

It is my belief that observing each client as an individual enables us to work together through varied issues of different complexities, by recognising, identifying and setting goals through the process of by providing confidential and professional support. Feeling supported through counselling when facing uncertainty about the future, is a pathway to lasting change. I understand that a welcoming, safe & supportive therapeutic environment is the key to emotional healing, wellbeing and personal growth. My hope is you will gain clarity and insight and know you have been understood in the context of your history, gender and culture.

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.
