I help individuals, couples, and families build deep, lasting, loving relationships. If you struggle with the to-and-fro of attachment insecurity, relationship safety, endless conflict, the hurt of infidelity or the lack of emotional or sexual intimacy, you don’t have to go it alone. I use my knowledge of relationships, communication and the latest in neuroscience to help you build grounded and practical tools to build attachment security and safety, stop fighting, repair from betrayal and the loss of trust, and restore intimacy. I can help you manage overwhelm, anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity in relationships, and life transitions.

Welcome. I offer services to both children and adults. I have a background working in private practice, and educational and forensic settings (though forensics is not my interest). I provide support for a broad range of issues such as reduced self-esteem, relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, depression, separation/divorce, learning difficulties and parenting. I commonly work with clients diagnosed with Autism/Aspergers and ADHD. I particularly enjoy working with people who are experiencing anxiety, and those requiring support in healing from childhood relational wounds, and parenting.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages seeking to think together about and make sense of their experience and how this has come to shape who they are, their relationships and their way of being in the world. This approach may be helpful for people experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety; difficulties in relationships; issues relating to past trauma, grief & loss; difficulties arising from childhood experiences; or difficulties with adjustment/transition to life events. I also enjoy supporting parents in understanding their child's emotions, addressing parenting challenges, and strengthening the parent-child relationship.

Typically, my clients have been to therapy many times before, but don't quite get to the bottom of their problems. They have tried the traditional methods of therapy that promote coping, but feel disheartened when they inevitably fall back into their old habits. Often they appear fine on the outside, but every day is a struggle. There is a big feeling of stuckness, or that 'something isn't right'. It's often hard to say exactly what is wrong. The words 'anxiety' and 'depression' don't seem to properly explain things. There may be a history of bad relationships, or struggling to accept love. Despite all this, they haven't given up.

Every person is unique, and we each experience life’s challenges in our own way. While similar situations may touch our lives, our responses to them are deeply personal and complex. I believe that therapy should reflect this individuality—there is no one-size-fits-all solution. My approach is tailored to meet you where you are, recognizing that what works for one person may not work for another, even if they’ve faced the same circumstances. Together, we’ll explore your needs, strengths, and goals to find the path that feels right for you.

I offer a mix of practical strategies and deeper exploration of your feelings and experiences. I am particularly interested in the emotions and beliefs we hold that get us stuck in problematic and repetitive patterns of relating. By becoming aware of these patterns and understanding them, we can step out of conflict and rebuild connection and intimacy. This process leads to deep and sustained change.
