I believe that because every person is unique, your sessions should be specifically tailored to your needs. Together, we will look at your communication styles and explore how certain patterns of relating might be impacting the health of your relationship. The space I provide during therapy is a dedicated environment for you to explore what is truly important to you. I will encourage you both to be open about your feelings, giving your partner the opportunity to really listen and gain a deeper understanding of your perspective. My way of working is always approachable, respectful, and honest. Our ultimate goal is to work together to find a positive way forward and create a stronger, more satisfying bond. I focus on helping you develop a more resilient relationship, equipping you with the tools to manage the natural ups and downs that life brings with greater confidence and mutual support. ## Background & Experience My journey into therapy began in the social care and health sectors; I previously served as a Foster Carer, supporting both parents and children, and worked within the NHS supporting individuals in crisis. These rewarding experiences led me to pursue professional training as a therapist and relationship specialist. Following my initial qualification, I spent many years in private practice working with individuals, as well as supporting children and young people in educational settings. I later undertook further studies in psychotherapy to gain a deeper understanding of how our childhood experiences shape the adults we become and how these early influences manifest in our adult relationships. To further specialise, I became a qualified couples counsellor and have since worked with hundreds of couples. This extensive experience allows me to draw from various theoretical approaches, including Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, to find the best way to support each unique partnership. ## How I can help I'll help you gain a better understanding of yourselves and each other through a warm and approachable framework. I will help you find healthier ways of communicating your feelings and expectations within your relationship. I'll work with you to identify and explore how specific patterns of relating may be impacting your connection. Together, we develop strategies to build a more resilient relationship to help you navigate life's challenges together. I will draw upon different theoretical approaches to ensure the support is perfectly suited to your specific relationship dynamics. ## Specialisms Psychosexual Therapy Addiction and Substance Use in Relationships Polyamorous and Non Monogamous Relationships Neurodiversity in Relationships Gender Diversity in Relationships Trauma-informed Couple's Work Cultural / Intercultural Relationships ## Problems I can help with Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns Deciding whether to stay together or separate Communication problems and not feeling heard Conflict and frequent arguments Relationship Problems Feeling distant, disconnected, or stuck Trust issues and infidelity Intimacy and sexual difficulties Jealousy and insecurity Separation and divorce support Navigating long distance relationships Life transitions and big changes Parenting, finances, and family pressures Differences in values or life goals Pre-marital therapy and relationship preparation Support for LGBTQ+ and queer relationships ## Therapeutic approaches Sex Therapy for Couples Imago Relationship Therapy Existential Therapy Psychodynamic Couples Therapy General Couples Counselling Integrative Couples Therapy Attachment Based Couples Therapy Systemic Couples Therapy Cognitive Behavioural Couples Therapy (CBT for Relationships) Gottman Method Couples Therapy ## Professional memberships British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Want to start counselling sooner?
