I specialise in working with couples and individuals that are experiencing relationship issues. As a couple your issues may relate to frequent conflicts, communication breakdowns, infidelity or issues around intimacy. Whatever you are wanting to work on as a couple to improve your relationship I can provide the understanding and the tools to address and overcome your challenges. I also work with individuals so if your partner is unwilling to come to therapy or if your own personal issues are significantly impacting your relationship by focusing on your own behaviours you can positively influence your relationship dynamics.

Life can be hard as it is, then it can feel like the universe throws you a curveball. Whether it be dealing with relationships, conflicts, life transitions, or figuring out who you want to be; therapy can be the first step to getting you in the right direction. I believe that there is no issue too small, they are all worth exploring. Taking the person-centered approach means I tap into where you're at and finding the right support for you. I work with you to highlight your strengths, build confidence and the autonomy to jump into the driver's seat, to make decisions about your life.

My role is to listen, to understand and to identify what it is that you seek help with. Our work will be about building an understanding of what is going on internally and externally for you, in particular, the things about yourself that you may not be aware of. As we gain this understanding of you, it becomes easier for you and I to make sense of what is happening within you, why you act and feel a particular way in certain situations and relationships. By understanding and acting on these things, you will be able to bring about change in your life.

It is said that we live in an ‘age of anxiety.’ It is not only you or me that experiences anxiety and depression. Mental health issues challenge most of us at some time in our lives. We need to develop resilience and resolve in the face of uncertainties, anxieties and challenges. This enables us to grow, flourish and develop practical wisdom. To face the challenges of life on our own is difficult. It is helpful to recognise that we need the support of significant others. As a psychologist, I provide a secure environment in which to turn your mental health concerns into opportunities for well-being

My name is Saskia and I am an experienced counsellor and peer worker. I've seen many therapists throughout my life, with experiences ranging from transformative to frustrating.

My practice is particularly focused on supporting those have trouble with these traditional therapeutic relationships. My approach is collaborative and informal, involving you as an equal partner in the process of therapy.
