Are you looking for a therapist who you can trust to be a safe pair of hands? You may be an individual, or a couple, and feel weary and disconnected. You may find that discussions with your partner often end up in the same unhappy cycle each time, pushing you further apart and nothing gets resolved. You may be struggling to recover from an affair, or a feeling of betrayal. I work in a compassionate and supportive way- sometimes with a gentle challenge- untangling together what might be keeping you stuck. We will work towards whatever your goals and needs are. You might be surprised how small changes can really have a huge impact.
I will listen carefully and will not judge you. I do not take sides. I really care about all of my clients. I support couples and individuals to create a new relationship- the one they want to have. We explore what works for you, and change the parts that are problematic. I will also have a lot of ideas and tools for you to try: even 'homework', if you wish.
I am genuinely passionate about helping you move out of painful patterns of relating with each other. I believe that we are all doing our best in situations, even when our actions can seem self-sabotaging. Many clients relax in to the sessions and even enjoy them. Taking the first step may feel daunting, but you may feel so glad that you did.

You may want to build stronger self- esteem and be more clear or assertive in your communication. Perhaps you'd like to have firmer boundaries and have some tools to help you talk more easily with loved-ones, because you fear conflict or arguing . You may want to explore past hurts dating back to childhood or later; or betrayals that are keeping you stuck in painful cycles of communicating.

The Systemic model helps us to understand ourselves, our beliefs/ behaviours in the context of family, work, school, friendships or any other groups, including wider society. The Psychodynamic model helps us to understand our thoughts and behaviour in the context of our past experiences/ relationships/ attachments and how they might be resonating with us in the present. This may be unconscious.
