About me and my therapy practice

Even strong relationships can begin to feel distant, stuck or emotionally disconnected over time. Whether you are struggling with communication, intimacy, recurring arguments, trust after an affair, or simply feeling more like housemates than partners, couples therapy can help you understand what is happening beneath the surface and begin reconnecting in a deeper, healthier way.

As a specialist couples therapist with a Master’s Degree in Counselling, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and Psychosexual-informed expert. I work with couples, both online and in face-to-face meetings, to move beyond blame, resentment and emotional disconnection, towards greater understanding, intimacy and lasting change.

My approach is warm, supportive and practical — creating a calm space where both partners can feel heard, respected and understood.

Practice description

If you wish to make an inquiry I will respond to your email with an invitation for a no-obligation telephone call. Here I will ask initial questions about the area you wish to focus on and what you hope to achieve from counseling work. If I can assist I shall then schedule a formal meeting that can be online, telephone, or face to face.

My first session

In the first session, we will revisit your interest in counseling but in more detail. What you want to achieve, what makes that important to you, what your vision of success in that area looks like, how will you know if you have it.

I will inquire as to what precipitated the call for counseling, why now?

I will suggest an appropriate time for review and check in on how the counseling is going together.

I will outline my practice position as it is in alignment with my professional ethics and the position on areas such as confidentiality and privacy and protection of your private information.

I am happy to answer any questions on my professional qualifications and experience that you may wish fuller information on.
