About me
I am a warm caring NCS Accredited therapist who is also a registered member of the BACP.
I am based in Teignmouth Devon but work both face to face and online so proximity isn't a problem.
In terms of availability I try to be as flexible as I possibly can to accommodate my clients work and home life diaries so offer evening appointments as well as daytime.
I will provide a safe space for you to talk about some of the issues that may be making life feel difficult for you and maybe holding you back from reaching your full potential.
There may be many reasons for wanting to begin counselling or psychotherapy including a recent, or current crisis, depression, anxiety, bereavement, or relationship struggles that are affecting the quality of your life.
You may feel the time has come to take a closer look at those problems, or patterns of thinking and behaviour that may not be serving you well as your life changes and develops.
I have experience with many issues but my passion and what drew me to counselling in the first place is working with couples and individuals to improve the quality of their relationships with my understanding around Attachment Theory, love languages, sexual blueprints and effective communication.
Issues I work with include:
Workplace stress including imposter syndrome and burnout.
Anxiety • Addiction • Depression • Loss • Grief • Sexuality • Family Dynamics • Relationship Difficulties • Parenthood • Identity • Stress • Workplace Stress • Self-esteem • Trauma • Abuse • Gender • Self-esteem
I offer a 15 minute free telephone consultation so call or email me to arrange an appointment for a chat and we can go from there.

Further information
All about couple counselling.
Relationships make up such a huge part of our lives and modern life, the demands of the workplace or family life can take it toll on even the best of them. The way people communicate and form relationships have changed in recent years and technology too has had an impact on how we see ourselves and how we relate to others.
All couples face challenges and how we deal with these challenges is vital if we want to maintain healthy communication, resolve conflict that might have arisen and encourage intimacy.
How might couples counselling help?
There are many reasons why couples decide to come for relationship therapy and this type of counselling service might be useful for
- Couples who are having relationship problems and want to resolve these conflicts
- Couples who are facing the end of a relationship but hope to try to work things out
- Couples who are ending their relationship but want to end on good terms
- Couples experiencing sexual or intimacy issues within their relationship
- Couples who are engaged or about to make a long-term commitment but want to improve their relationship before going forward.
- Individuals who are struggling with relationships and want to build better personal relationships in the future
Every couple is different and as a therapist I can help you to recognise and understand the communication, behavioural, sexual and emotional dynamics that might exist between you and your partner.
I have experience working with both straight and gay couples, couples in long and shorter-term relationships and with couples experiencing sexual or intimacy issues within their relationship. Your first appointment will provide an opportunity for you and your partner to discuss any issues within your relationship, identify any goals in couples therapy and begin a dialogue of open communication.
I don’t take sides and I help couples by identifying and assessing behavioural patterns in their relationship and encouraging fair, balanced communication between both partners. I understand that issues within relationships are often very private and personal so I do not judge a couples’ personal choices or sexual experiences. All discussions in couples counselling are handled sensitively and, of course, are always confidential.
