Individual therapy, couple counselling, and clinical supervision
I have 15 years experience as a therapist in private practice, helping both individuals and couples. I specialise foremostly in relationships and marriages, supporting couples across the UK with online sessions. I have guided hundreds of couples to a better place, and would be happy to help you improve your relationship or marriage. I help clients to be emotionally engaged and thus more accessible and responsive to one another.

About me and my practice
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, depending on your needs.
For individuals, therapy sessions represent a special place where you can be really listened to, genuinely heard, and understood just as you are, without judgement. A counselling journey can gradually guide you from a difficult place of anxiety and despair to a much better one of peace, happiness and strength.
For couples, a time of crisis in your relationship represents the ideal opportunity to discover a new way of being present with one another.My approach emphasises empathic communication and re-establishing healthy connection. I support couples to stay emotionally and physically connected, and show them how to build a revitalised relationship-culture based on friendship and mutual appreciation.
In couple therapy you will learn how to communicate effectively with your partner in a way that is both supportive and inquisitive, as opposed to being hostile and unfriendly. In this way hope and interpersonal presence can be restored in your relationship.
If you no longer feel like a team, I can show you how to foster connection and harmony, and thereby rediscover your emotional bond. Couple counselling also helps with healing ruptures in relationship, or a loss of trust. I have helped many, many couples recover from infidelity.
My methods are especially useful to those who find themselves arguing regularly. Conflict can be re-construed as an opportunity to learn more about oneself and your partner, and to enhance closeness and intimacy.
