About me and my therapy practice
I trained specifically in relationship and couples counselling with Relate UK, completing their comprehensive three-year training programme. Nearly a decade ago, I successfully achieved the CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling.
I find working with couples both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Relationships are complex, and I believe that effective couples counselling relies on something fundamental: being able to listen to and understand both people. While Artificial Intelligence can offer information and suggestions, it cannot replace the experience of having a trained counsellor who can listen to both partners, understand their individual perspectives and explore the different versions of their shared experience.
By giving each person the opportunity to feel heard and understood, we can begin to explore the underlying issues and reasons for distress within the relationship.
An important part of my approach is helping couples identify and incorporate practical strategies and different ways of communicating into their daily lives. The aim is to develop greater understanding and find ways of moving forward that can be carried into everyday life, both individually and as a couple.
