When relationships are not working we often feel frustrated, and confused with measurable consequences on our lives and those around us.There are many reasons why relationships become difficult or unmanageable These may be because of poor communication, arguments that are repeated or never resolved, trust issues, an affair or life stage transitions such as having children, divorce, blended families, bereavement or retirement.

Hello and thank you for reading my profile. Making a decision to come into therapy may be something you have been thinking of for a while or it may be because an event or incident has happened for which you need some support with. Sometimes couples or individuals consider counselling because they feel stuck. They may have tried many other options before making contact with a therapist. Clients often say it is helpful talking to someone they don't know, who does not take sides or judge them and can maybe see the situation slightly differently.

Whatever your personal reasons for seeking therapy, I can offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore your situation and move towards your goals. Counselling and psychotherapy have been proven to help with a wide range of issues, whether these are related to current distressing feelings or something traumatic from the past. Talking to someone who won't judge you or tell you what you should do can help you find your own way forward. As a counsellor, I accompany you on your journey. Trained in integrative psychotherapy, I can also suggest specific approaches to our work together that are based on your personal needs.

I'm very passionate about helping people work through their problems & to do that I offer mainly Person-Centred Therapy, provided in a safe, friendly and confidential environment. Everyone says, it's been great to be able to say whatever they want. That to have someone like me to listen to what is bothering them and what they are going through without being judged or given an opinion, has allowed them the space to work through their problems leaving them feeling empowered, stronger & with purpose. Being an experienced therapist means I can work with a range of mental health issues so, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Relationships are at the core of what it means to be human. If your relationship with your partner or your family is not working , then this can affect so many parts of your life. Perhaps you feel that you have never been happy in the relationship that you are in? Perhaps you or your partner have had an affair or have issues with jealousy? Maybe you are considering splitting up or leaving? Being part of an extended family can present its own problems. Being a Step Parent or Step Child can be very problematic. Parenting issues can cause major rifts in families and sometimes an experienced third party can offer a solution.

Are you living with disappointment? Have you been hurt by life? Are you carrying burdens on your own? Is it time to put yourself first and seek a listening ear? This first step can feel daunting but my own experience has taught me that relief is possible. At times we all need a safe place to share what is going on in our hearts and mind. Although we may have friends and family around us who genuinely care, the thought of telling them exactly how we are feeling can be scary and overwhelming. Instead, we often put on a brave face and choose to say nothing. I would be honoured to spend time together, exploring your needs and desires.
