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​
