Couples Therapy: Communication is the foundation of all human relationships, and how we talk can indicate how healthy our relationship is. Both need to take individual and collective accountability and responsibility for communicating and listening to each other if a relationship is to flourish. Do you have a daily or weekly check-in with your partner to check the relationship's temperature? Or, do you only find the time to point out difficulties and problems in the relationship, resulting in no solution-focused understanding of the agreement, and you are irritated and frustrated and need clarity?

Hey! What brings you here? What hurts? What are your struggles? What keeps you stuck? Is it a relationship with a loved one? A parent, a child, a partner or a friend? Is it depression, overwhelming feelings of sadness, loss of joy, sleepless nights, no desire to get out of bed, avoiding friends or family members? Is it anxiety or panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, constantly worrying, creating worst scenarios? Is it a sense of not feeling good enough, comparing yourself to others in a negative light, second guessing your actions, feeling judged, having a sense that your existence is a waste of time?

Life can feel complicated at times. Therapy can be helpful in providing a trusting and consistence space in which you can begin to make sense of thoughts and feelings. Art is a a thought provoking and safe tool that can bring awareness to those hidden parts of ourselves that we may find hard to recognise. Art can also help us to express those feelings which can be harder to share. I work collaboratively with people in order from them to better understand themselves, regain autonomy, enhance confidence and work towards creating awareness and fulfilment in their life and relationships.

As a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, I was trained to carefully observe children and young people and respond to what they are consciously and unconsciously communicating through their behaviour, verbally and non-verbally, through unstructured play, their silence, and other ways to communicate their emotional difficulties or distress. I have several years working in the NHS in CAMHS, and with charity organizations, providing evidence-based therapy and individual & group interventions for children and adolescents and supporting the networks involved in their care so that they can build resilience, flourish and live fuller lives.

You have been feeling tense and overwhelmed for no apparent reason, although everything ‘seems fine’ on the surface and people often tell you that you were lucky in life. It might be that you don’t quite know where your emotional and physical reactions are coming from. As if your mind and body have a life of their own. It might seem you have it together all the time but it takes so much energy to keep things going. This never-ending sense of internal pressure feels exhausting but you are not quite sure how to get out of the cycle. You might be confused about who you really are, what is your true self.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor, offering individuals and couples a safe and confidential place for support, exploration and transformation. I believe that a respectful and non-judgmental environment is crucial in therapy, and this is an essential element of my work. I always welcome whole authentic feelings from my clients, without putting a negative label on them. To be able to explore overwhelming feelings such as: guilt, embarrassment, shame, anger, fear, and many others, without feeling judged, requires trust to be present. Even the decision to come to counselling is a courageous step - facing our difficulties is never easy.

I work very relationally, often helping my clients make sense of themselves and their difficulties through understanding early experiences, current relationships and their therapeutic relationship with me, and how patterns in one area can often offer understandings about another. I draw on a range of therapeutic models and modalities, including psychodynamic, person-centred, existential, cognitive and behavioural, transactional analysis, and attachment theory. My starting point is always the client, and I believe strongly that the therapy should fit the client, not the other way around.

I go on exploratory journeys with clients, with them leading and together we make meaning and sense as we navigate through difficulties and worries and at times having fun along the way. At some point the therapy stops at an agreed moment by the client when they feel they have reached a more comfortable place in their life and in their relationships.
