I am a Relate trained counsellor with over 18 years’ experience in relationship counselling, helping couples and individuals who are having issues.

I’m also trained in systemic counselling and have family counselling experience including several years experience as a family support worker, with a focus on supporting parents.

I’m curious about how we think and how we act and what helps and what doesn’t. I believe that people can heal themselves, but sometimes need help to find their resilience and their strength, and to work out what they would like, and how to get themselves there. I usually work with what clients bring to the room at each session. It is a non-judgemental, safe place to explore feelings, dilemmas, fears and anxieties.

These are the sorts of issues that I have worked with alongside clients:

• Rebuilding relationships after an affair

• Dealing with the heartbreak of infertility and how it affects relationships

• Exploring the changing dynamics of different life stages. From the arrival of a baby, to difficulty with teenagers, to becoming empty nesters, and the impact of retirement

• Working with adults of parents with narcissistic tendencies

• Addressing the effects on relationships of early years trauma

• Exploring and helping with poor working relationships, such as with a colleague or boss

• Improving the poor communication, that very often proves to be at the very core of most issue.
