Therapy for individuals, couples and families
Whether your loved one is withdrawing due to depression, your family is struggling to communicate or understand your needs, an eating disorder is putting a strain on your family dynamic, or you and your partner keep getting caught in the same upsetting arguments, these cycles can be exhausting. It's easy to feel stuck.
When something feels stuck, talking to the right person can change everything. I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, and I've spent many years helping people find their way back to each other and to themselves. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships by creating a safe space that supports each person's journey. My counselling and psychotherapy services are tailored to each individual, couple, or family. I welcome people from all backgrounds, life stages, and experiences.
PEOPLE USUALLY COME TO ME WHEN...
-
As a couple — the same argument keeps circling back, and underneath it you're both asking the same silent question: are you there for me? Will I be happy in this relationship? Can we - and our families - handle our differences? Can we make it work? Distance, criticism, or a betrayal has crept in, and you can't find your way back on your own.
-
As a family — a child or teenager is struggling — with an eating disorder, anxiety, low mood, or self-harm — and the whole family is hurting. They are neurodivergent, and you and your partner disagree on how to parent them. You don't need blame; you need a way through, together.
-
As an individual — anxiety, depression, or something from your past keeps pulling you under. You are struggling to come out and be yourself. You've coped for a long time. You'd like more than coping.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
HOW THERAPY WITH ME WORKS
I work systemically — which means I don't see people as problems to be fixed, but as people caught in patterns that stopped working. In couple therapy, I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you understand the protest underneath the arguments and rebuild a secure bond. With families, I work with everyone's perspective, so change belongs to the whole family rather than resting on one person's shoulders. With individuals, I offer a space that is warm, direct, and confidential — including EMDR for trauma where it's helpful
