Specialising in providing Counselling for Couples.

I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor, Supervisor and Trainer with more than 20 years experience in practice.  

I provide a safe and confidential space for couples, regardless of sexual orientation or marital status, to come together to explore any difficulties which they may be experiencing in their relationship. All my couple work takes place online as I have found this to be equally as effective as face to face working.

In my work with couples, I aim to get a clear understanding of each partner, and, to clarify the experience of each within the relationship. I will consider each partner's style of relating through the lens of John Bowlby's theory of attachment and therafter employ the principles of a model known as Emotionally Focussed Couple Therapy (EFT), formulated in the 1980's by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg. The model enables a relatively structured, but nonetheless very personal approach to the process of couple therapy and it's efficacy is well supported by a substantial body of research.

Typically, couples will require between 8 and 20 sessions. Together we will identify the patterns of relating that become entrenched over time, then we will unravel and understand the often hidden rationality that lies behind apparently irrational or destructive responses. The ultimate goal of the therapeutic process is to create a secure bond between partners, it is a journey from isolation to connectedness.

My per session fee is £95.00

Sessions are online and last up to 1 hour.
