Couples Therapy: In my work with couples, I take a pluralistic approach, drawing on a variety of models which place the wellbeing of the relationship at the centre. We will explore feelings, meanings and responses and how these impact your relationship dynamic. This includes understanding each partner’s emotional landscape, building a better understanding of your partner, yourself and your relationship dynamics, improving communication, resolving conflicts and building on the strengths of the relationship. We’ll consider strategies and psycho-education to enhance and strengthen your relationship. 

Therapy with Individuals: As a Humanistic integrative therapist, my practice is rooted in the belief that we all possess the capacity for growth, and that insight and self-awareness is the starting point for positive change. The significance of relationships is central to my approach, looking at how we connect with others, ourselves, and in partnerships. I draw largely on psychodynamic schools of thought, which look at how our early experiences may unconsciously be impacting us in the present day, including awareness of our bodies and nervous system responses.  

Topics for therapy might include Anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, attachment, childhood trauma, c-ptsd, identity exploration, life transitions,  personal growth goals, communication, conflict resolution, intimacy issues, infidelity, re-establishing trust and connection in relationship, relationship enrichment.

My approach: I provide an empathic, pragmatic and straightforward approach to therapy to give you a space where you can explore yourself freely and openly. The process is collaborative, and we’ll work together to find ways of working that suit you. We will uncover underlying patterns that foster insight and self-compassion to help you cultivate deeper understanding and begin to create positive change.

I know that embarking on therapy can be daunting, and finding the right therapist is really important. Feel free to get in touch for an initial chat to see if we might be a good match.
