As a Relate-trained and experienced Relationship & Sex Therapist, I specialise in working with couples and individuals navigating various stages of intimate relationships. Whether you're currently in a relationship, single, or going through a separation, therapy can be a valuable tool for finding closure and moving forward. My approach prioritises creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel valued, respected, and empowered to explore their own resources and ideas for change. I focus on promoting healthier communication techniques and providing an unbiased, impartial perspective on relationship dynamics.

I am a qualified counsellor who works in an integrative way believing that every client is unique and has their own individual requirements. I passionately believe that we all need an empathic and kind ear during the most difficult times in our lives, someone to be there who will listen and sit with us patiently when life feels too hard. At times anxieties, experiences, problems or worries can feel just too heavy to carry alone so that's when counsellors like myself can be of real benefit. I am privileged to say that I have helped my clients work through obstacles that they feel have been holding them back in life.

Do you struggle with self-doubt and anxiety, feel like a fraud or impostor, worry that you're going to be "found out", and despite your successes and achievements you still feel the same. You may find yourself working harder and longer to try and appease the self-doubt, you may avoid opportunities due to the fear of failure, and can struggle with procrastination. Do you find yourself being self-critical, putting yourself under a lot of pressure to achieve, comparing yourself negatively to others, and overthinking. Do you want to break free from the impact of Impostor Syndrome, building confidence in yourself and living life fully?

There are moments in life when processing events and emotions on our own can feel overwhelming.  While talking to friends can be comforting, therapy provides a different kind of space—one where you can work through your most intimate thoughts and fears with non-judgmental guidance, gaining insight and clarity.  We know that the connection between therapist and client plays a key role in fostering meaningful growth and shaping outcomes and at the same time, making that first step can feel daunting:  it’s natural to have doubts when starting with a new therapist!

My counselling style is friendly and laid back, straightforward without using jargon. During our sessions, the most important thing is that you know that I'm listening to whatever you want to talk about, and that I'll always treat you with kindness and respect. Together, we'll explore how and why you're feeling the way you do. I'll be listening to you carefully, so that I can see things from your point of view. It's about really getting what you're going through. I'll accept you for who you are, no matter what. Even when we make mistakes or do things that others don't agree with, we still deserve respect and to be heard.

I work using the pluralistic approach, this is to say that I treat each client as an individual, who will need an individual approach to therapy. We (the client and I) will work together and regularly assess the work in a way that recognises that different processes and approaches are needed to ensure the client gets the best possible tailored therapy. This improvement is further evidenced by completion of an evaluation tool (CORE) at the beginning and end of therapy. The client will have a graph depicting the scores and the difference the work has made.
