About me and my therapy practice

My Therapeutic Practice

I work with individuals, couples, and families. My aim is to identify the reasons that have led you to seek therapy and together develop a mutual understanding of what you want. My work revolves around the intricate dynamics of relationships, focusing on how we connect, communicate, and grow with those around us.

Our brains are complex and are wired in such a way that we can repeat negative patterns of thoughts, behaviours, and communication within our most valued relationships. Sometimes we don’t really understand why we repeat unhealthy patterns and find ourselves stuck having the same type of argument over and over. We can be desperate to make changes but are not sure how. As adults, we have learned many things from our families, and we may find that some of our behaviours and beliefs get in the way of truly connecting with those we love. We can feel angry, misunderstood, or full of shame, unable to express ourselves better, and can get stuck creating more distance with those we love or seeking comfort from unhealthy behaviours or self-medication as a way to cope with these difficult feelings.

Practice description

Through therapy, I can provide a space to reflect on past trauma, relational lessons, and their impact. Acknowledging and addressing these deep-rooted issues can improve current relationships and help us find different ways to respond when we feel threatened in some way. This will usually involve helping you identify your triggers, think about how you are responding, and find better and more relational ways to express yourself, including skills that you may not have seen, learned, or experienced in your own family.


My approach is shaped around what works best for you, ensuring that the methods we use feel natural and helpful for your journey. Kindness, compassion, and understanding, including towards yourself, are at the heart of what I do. These qualities allow us to gently explore and work through tough moments, helping you reconnect and bring more harmony to your relationships. I work hard to be honest with you about what needs to change and ask that you are courageous in taking ownership and responsibility for the worst parts of you that show up in relationships (and therapy!).

Therapy is an active process, which can be challenging. It is a discovery of self, and I will do everything I can to support you through this process.

My qualifications:

I have a diploma in integrative counselling, an MA in Systemic and Psychodynamic therapy with Relate, and an advanced diploma in Clinical supervision. I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) with Terry Real. I work with attachment theory, family systems, and other interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have over 14 years of experience working as a relational therapist.


My first session

I offer a free 50 minute consultation for couples, and a 30 minute consultation for individual work and family work. Please drop me an email or telephone to arrange a suitable time. I am available daytime and evenings. Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or as regular as you feel you need.

I only offer online work via zoom, and we can discuss what timings work best for you. Sometimes couple and family therapy is more productive with longer sessions such as 90 minute which allows for more in-depth work and processing.
