Living in an unhappy relationship can lead you both to consider counselling. I know life can throw up tough stuff along the way, working with me can bring relief and understanding for you as a couple and as an individual. Our work together is confidential.

I work both face to face and online.

I am a accredited member of the BACP

We are led by what you both bring. I am an (accredited) member of the BACP, I work to their ethical standards.

Who do I help

Couples

My specialist training helps us understand and process the feelings and complexities present in our relationships.

We will hear what each of you are communicating. 

We will look to understand and express the feelings present as these drive actions and words.

As we explore together we will gain an understanding of what each partner needs and look at how this can be met. 

We want to move from unhappiness and hurt to a place of hearing each other and collaboration, together we will explore what it is you both want and hope for in a relationship. This may be together or apart, my role will be to help hold you as a couple, which ever direction you take.
