About me
Couples' / relationship counselling:
I'm a specialist NHS couples' counsellor, with extensive experience of couples' counselling within the NHS and private sector.
My work involves addressing relationship issues, communication breakdown, sexual difficulties, conflict management, affairs and betrayals, parenting, separation and divorce.
I have been employed as a counsellor for 16 years.
My work with couples is practical and solution focused. After a comprehensive assessment to identify the difficulties, we'll work together to promote acceptance, revise perceptions, manage feelings, improve communication, change behaviours and cope with stress.
Couples' counselling can work towards strengthening relationships, healing breakdown, assisting with an amicable separation / divorce, and with co-parenting.
I am a member of the British Emotionally Focused Therapy Centre (BEFT Centre)
Weekend and evening sessions are available.
Sessions take place in a quiet private location, away from the hustle and bustle of life. There's free parking and easy transport links via bus and mainline train. I'm able to do home visits if it'll help you.
I have an open and friendly nature and enjoy the ability to get along with a wide range of people. I am committed to high professional standards. Please feel free to arrange a short meeting or telephone call to get to know me a little before committing to counselling sessions.

Further information
I believe that great relationships are the key to happiness and emotional health.
My goal as a therapist is to help my clients move from the agonizing pain of relationship distress, to find peace, love and joy again.
As most counsellors will admit, I have been through it. I've been through the dark days of trying to make a difficult marriage work. I've experienced the highs and lows of mothering four children; all adults now. I have been through good and bad marriage counselling, the turmoil of divorce, and the challenges of dating again. I am now happily re-married and wonderfully settled. My experiences, coupled with all my training and extensive counselling work, have given me very effective tools to help others.
Rest assured; I'll really listen.

- emotional and/or physical drift and separation
- lack of desire and sexual incompatibility
