My clients come to me for help with their relationships ...with their 'significant other', their child, their friend or business partner. They come by themself and they come with their 'other'.

I bring a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental approach to my work that arises out of my deeply held conviction that the most important determinant of therapeutic success will be the therapeutic alliance between patient and therapist.
