I specialise in Imago Relationship Therapy. I offer Marriage Counselling, Couples Therapy and Relationship Counselling for Individuals. I have considerable experience in working with individuals and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds and with varying different issues. My priority is to offer a comfortable, safe and non-judgmental space for all where it is possible to begin to explore the issues that are concerning.

My main areas of training are Integrative Counselling, Advanced Couples Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT). I now specialise exclusively from the IRT approach.

 I can draw on diverse theoretical perspectives in responding to couples and Individual's s specific therapeutic needs. I work relationally and collaboratively with individuals to facilitate a process of personal growth, where it is possible to gain a greater understanding about self and difficult relationship dynamics they may be experiencing. In the alliance, it is possible to gather more resources, enhance self-awareness and gain a different perspective on a current situation. With greater clarity, there is the option of making choices that may be more aligned with your own needs and desired life path. Counselling can also help us move toward coming to terms with and accepting the things that cannot  be changed.

In Couples Therapy, my aim is to create a safe space where honest and open dialogue is possible. I will identify and work together with couples on existing problems by supporting the development of effective communication and encouraging empathy with each other. Relationship therapy can offer time and space to resolve the repetitive patterns that can sometimes keep couples stuck - in collaboration, you can create a space for connection, re-connection and intimacy. You are given the opportunity to understand and appreciate each other's needs, build on strengths, learn to appreciate the differences and make positive, useful changes in your relationship and lives.
