Profile

I am an experienced and professionally qualified psychotherapist registered with UKCP. My speciality is couples counselling and I run a business jointly with my partner, SImon Adamson, called 'Complete Couples'. We offer a confidential service providing you and your partner with a safe and empathic space to assist you in exploring the difficult issues within your relationship, whatever your age, race, or sexual orientation. 

Our services include individually tailored sessions, regular relationship maintenance sessions and relationship improvement programmes.

We can help you in a variety of ways: 

Realise why you chose your particular partner;
See the problems in your relationship as an opportunity for greater understanding;
Learn how to communicate with your partner effectively to create curiosity and support rather than conflict;
Understand how the differences between you and your partner are showing you how to become a more whole person;
Identify the strengths in your relationship;
Improve your relationship by gaining insight and awareness into your problem areas.
Understand why an affair happened;
Help you to separate with grace and integrity if this is the most appropriate path for you.

Simon and I have also taught courses in 'Improving Relationships' at Citylit adult education college in central London. We have also been awarded a £10,000 lottery grant to run relationship workshops for those living or working in the London Borough of Camden throughout 2012.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I hold five degrees including a Masters Degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy (MSC) and a degree in psychology (BSc).
I am also registered as a member with UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).

Common issues:

Are you unhappy with your relationship?
Do you sometimes think that youve chosen the wrong partner?
Do you find the same old conflicts repeating themselves time after time?
Do you despair of the communication in your relationship?
Do you fear that youve fallen out of love with your partner?
Have you given up hope of finding the deep and meaningful connection with your partner that you want?
Are you holding resentments and anger against your partner?
Have you already read loads of relationship books and still not found a solution?
Has your sex life become boring or non-existent?
Are you fantasising about or having affairs with others?
Do you get confused about your role as a man or a woman in the modern age?

Its perfectly normal for such questions (and many more) to arise within any romantic relationship. Its also understandable why couples avoid discussing them; after all its not easy! As an individual in relationship, you might feel alone and distant from your partner if issues remain unresolved. Why not try out an initial low cost assessment session at only £35.
