If stress, life transitions, relationship or parenting challenges, or a traumatic experience have left you feeling out of balance, we can work together to find steadier ground.
When life feels overwhelming or out of sync, it’s often an invitation to pause and reconnect. I believe meaningful change happens through compassion, understanding your unique context, and moving at your own pace. I commit to offering a supportive space where you can find clarity, restore balance, and shape a way forward that feels right for you.

While we are more connected than ever these days, it is a very superficial connection. Depression and anxiety rates are soaring and people have never felt so alone. I have 20 years’ experience in the field of Equine Assisted Therapy & Learning and I ran a non-profit organisation for 11 years, with a focus on women’s trauma. I now run "Soul Connections", which aims to help you reconnect - to yourself, to others and to the natural world.

Hello all. I work in private practice and see clients of all ages. Those drawn to my practice tend to seek increased self-awareness and healthier ways of being - within themselves and within the world at large. Some clients come to therapy for a short while, others for longer, but regardless of length, processing work is usually encouraged to help people move forward. EMDR is often used to help process trauma, or any areas where one feels fundamentally stuck. Whether you need to simply talk and feel listened to, or need some deeper work, I am able to meet you where you are at.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
