I provide integrative counselling & psychotherapeutic support for Individuals & Couples. My relational approach can help you gain a deeper sense of who you are, exploring possible reasons for anxiety, burn-out, stress, addictive behaviours, suicide ideation, low-self-esteem, or self-harming, and trauma through physical, emotional, sexual or neglectful abuse. 

As a Couple & Sex Therapist, I support you to gain understanding of your individuality within your relationship, what your relating patterns are, to understand new ways of connection with different communication skills, whether verbally, physically, sexually. 

In all relationships; parent with teenager, couples, intimate/sexual partnerships (monogamy, ENM or "poly"), & work colleagues, I support you to gain better understanding to relate with new insights towards others.

As I hear what you say & sense & see your reactions, I provide the warmth, resilience & energy to enable you to explore & find a renewed sense of being. It sometimes gets emotional but we work together for you, for your relationships, to find your way forward.

I work towards building our therapeutic relationship, whilst integrating Person-Centred, Psychodynamic Attachment, Existential theories, Somatic & understanding how the Brain works, especially through Emotional, Physical, Sexual &/or Neglectful Trauma. 

I specialise in counselling Individuals, Couples, & different types of Relationships, working with your communication issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, whether you're in monogamous, non-monogamous (ENM) or polyamorous relationships.

I look forward to supporting you in my Private Practice therapy room or Online.

Our first session will be a combination of an Assessment and Counselling, enabling you to present your Individual or Relationship/Couple issues and exploring where you would like to be in future; what your goal is for counselling. It is the only session when I will be taking notes with you about your history. I get an understanding of your past, any previous counselling you may have had, your childhood experiences, your family dynamic, any forms of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, alcohol or substance abuse, and anything else you feel important to tell me. 

This session will be 50 minutes for individuals and 1 hour for relationship/couples. It will be more directed by me than our following sessions, but on your terms, what you feel comfortable with speaking about.

I provide warmth and a confidential space for all my clients. Every first session has always proved a relief, a place where each client has been able to release so much, they already feel the benefit of finding time for themselves. Each person or couple returns on the same day, at the same time, weekly or fortnightly, for as long as needed.

As a supervisor, I incorporate the Seven-Eyed Model, Integrative Developmental Model, & Inskipp and Proctor Model, working online and face to face.

I support counselling & psychotherapy students (low-cost supervision) with professional encouragement alongside your placement/college support, working with your theoretical modalities.

I work collaboratively with private practitioners, encouraging continuous CPD and maintaining the ethical principles of our respective PSA governing bodies.

I have a tendency to focus a lot on the 'supervisory relationship' as I am relationship therapist, believing that building trust within honest relationships benefits us and our clients :)
