Couples Counselling in Leeds

There are many reasons for considering counselling. Maybe you’re feeling lost or facing a personal crisis. Perhaps you’re struggling for purpose or meaning in your life? Or wanting to modify your behaviours or change destructive patterns. Therapy can support you as you explore your relationship with the world, helping you move from where you are now to where you want to be.

I work with teenagers, adults, couples and families, providing practical, emotional and psychological therapy that is bespoke for you, using the latest therapeutic approaches, evidence from psychology and other sciences. I use a straightforward framework to help make sense of your life and understand your needs, called Human Givens. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, self harm, eating difficulties, trauma, personality disorder or dissociation - recent or longstanding. It may be relationship issues, identity, gender or neurodiversity. Clients I work with are seeking for their lives to be in better balance.
