Counselling with me

I offer a compassionate, person-centred approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Our work together will be relational and collaborative, a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, experiences, hopes and potential, at your own pace. 

Together, we build understanding, self-acceptance, and practical tools. Clients often feel more empowered, regulated, and connected to their authentic selves.

 

I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including counselling, coaching, and creative practices, tailoring our sessions to meet your individual needs and preferences. My approach is holistic, meaning I consider all aspects of your well-being; emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual. Recognising the interconnectedness of your experiences. 

 

I am also trauma-informed, which means I am sensitive to the impact of past traumas and committed to fostering safety, trust, and empowerment throughout our work together.

​

​I work with couples who want to better understand their relationship patterns and strengthen the connection between them. My approach is relational, meaning we focus on how each partner’s experience, emotions, and ways of relating interact within the relationship  and on the couple as a system, rather than assigning blame.

​

Couples therapy offers a space to slow things down, improve communication, and explore what sits beneath recurring difficulties. Together, we look at patterns of interaction and emotional connection within the relationship system, supporting greater understanding, safety, and closeness. This support can be helpful whether you’re feeling stuck or disconnected, navigating change, or wanting to deepen your relationship.

​

Even in families where there is a lot of love, communication can become difficult, conflictual, or distant. It may be feeling stuck in patterns they can no longer seem to shift, or conversations become tense very quickly.

 

What I frequently see is two people who both care deeply, but who no longer feel understood by each other. A teenager may feel criticised, controlled, or unable to speak honestly without conflict. A parent may feel worried, shut out, rejected, or unsure how to help anymore. Adult children may carry years of misunderstanding, tension, disappointment, or emotional distance that has become difficult to talk about safely.

 

What is usually present underneath all of this is not a lack of love, but a relationship that has become stuck in painful patterns.

 

In therapy together, there is space to pause and examine what keeps happening in the relationship. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong. Instead, I help both people feel heard while exploring what may be going on underneath the conflict, defensiveness, withdrawal, or misunderstandings between them.

 

One of the reasons I enjoy this work so much is because even small shifts between family members can feel deeply meaningful. It is often the first time in a long while that one person feels truly heard by the other; whether that is a parent beginning to recognise the fear underneath their teenager’s anger, or an adult child finally being able to express something they have carried quietly for years.

 

I also appreciate the courage it takes for family members to come into the room together. These conversations are rarely easy, but they are often important. I value being able to help people move away from blame and towards greater understanding, compassion, and honesty with each other.

​

Even when relationships feel strained or fragile, change is still possible.
