I believe the essence of emotional health and wellbeing is deeply connected to our relationships, how we connect or disconnect from others and our self. Life events, trauma’s, losses, isolation and sudden change can rupture our sense of wellbeing and impact or limit our potential. As a psychotherapist, I offer a genuine, caring, supportive space and the opportunity to explore and grow self-understanding and awareness, understand themes and patterns and process trauma and loss. I practice Relational Gestalt and person-centred therapy, working with the whole person with a willingness to continually learn, understand and support.

I believe we are all doing the best we can with what we've got, but sometimes we don't have the right skills or viewpoint from which to understand and resolve the issues that cause us to suffer. Our old coping strategies fail and we become stressed, depressed, anxious, isolated, angry, fed up, stuck, lost or hopeless. And there's a voice in us that says we've got to figure it out for ourselves, we mustn't burden others or others won't understand us. I'll listen deeply and work beside you to find your own answers, in a confidential, non judgemental, safe space. We all need to be seen and understood and to understand ourselves.

I work with Couples and Individuals. Some of the common issues that couples bring to counselling are; communication issues, conflict, a break down in trust, affairs, mental health concerns that are impacting the relationship, lack of emotional and or physical intimacy, conflict and stress over parenting, grief, the impact of past traumas, transitioning into retirement and new relationships. The Imago Relationship Model facilitates a new way of communication that allows couples to understand themselves and their partners more deeply and bring greater safety, connection, healing, growth and joy.

I am a psychotherapist and relationship coach with a passion for helping those who find themselves stuck, depressed, anxious, blocked, or those restless and looking for solutions for finding a fulfilling better quality of life.
