I am passionate about the internal relationship we have with ourselves and how this reflects in our external relationships and in the world.
Unfortunately I am not taking on any new clients for the foreseeable future. I will update again should this change - Are you struggling with issues of self-worth and self-esteem? Perhaps growing up it was difficult to get your needs met or to develop a strong sense of self. As a result, you may experience issues of identity, confidence, addiction, anxiety or a sense of chronic loneliness or emptiness. Perhaps you very hard on yourself or you look to others to give you a feeling of being good enough? If so, you might seek a sense of worth through relationships, spirituality or perfectionism.

I have a particular interest in relationship counselling having worked with Accord since 2012 as a relationship counsellor.
Almost everyone faces difficulties and challenges at some point in their life. Sometimes these can be overwhelming and we may feel helpless or lost in managing or coping, perhaps there is a feeling of hopelessness or worthlessness. Counselling can be a great support during times of distress or change and I can help you work through your issues which are causing distress. My goal is to help you achieve your own personal goals. Counselling is a process where the counsellor and client have a therapeutic and confidential relationship and I offers a safe environment where you will be listened to, respected and supported.

My clients present with multiple issues such as Depression, anxiety, workplace stress, grief, anger management and relationship issues etc. What they want from counselling is a safe place to explore their thoughts and feelings about what is going on for them. Sometimes what they present with, may not be what is troubling them, the sessions will allow them to explore and discover that. Clients look for help to cope with these issues - stressors and/or manage multiple types of relationships. They are on a journey of self-discovery and self-compassion and they come to me for that help and support as they embark on that journey.

I hope to build our relationship so that you find me trustworthy to talk to, in confidence, about all aspects of your life, your thoughts and feelings and any difficulties you are experiencing.
It is my vision to support people, to work with them to find their purpose and talents in order to fulfil their potential in life. When a problem presents itself, I will help you in the search for solutions to the current impasse to allow movement forward. We can seek out the source of the problem to see if it can be prevented in the future, or at least its effects reduced, should it reoccur. I feel that by working like this, together you can learn how to overcome the difficulties life sends your way. In this way, you can become empowered. Using your own strengths you already possess to build a future you want to live in

Deciding to come for counselling can often be a difficult and drawn-out process. It is often also a very rewarding and enriching experience leading to changes in one’s life that reduce distress and increase one’s ability to cope with difficulties and challenges. By it's nature the process involves engaging with uncomfortable aspects of oneself and our relationships that are challenging. The goal of the process is to increase self-knowledge, self-acceptance and self-compassion that enhances our capacity to relate to ourselves and others in healthier ways.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
