About me
I'm a warm and caring therapist, accredited by the National Counselling Society (NCS) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With over 8 years of private practice and thousands of hours of counselling experience I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space.
I'm based in Torbay, Devon, and offer both face-to-face and online sessions, with flexible daytime and evening appointments to fit around your work or home life and I work with both individuals and couples.
Many people come to therapy during times of change, loss, or uncertainty, or when they feel weighed down by anxiety, stress, or low self-esteem. You may be facing a crisis right now, or you might notice old patterns that keep getting in the way of how you'd like to live.
Whatever has brought you here, my role is to offer a space where you can talk openly and honestly. We work together at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you — and our goal is always for you to feel heard, supported, and understood.
Although I work with a wide range of issues, I have a particular interest in relationships — whether that's the one you have with yourself, with a partner, or within your family. I draw on a deep knowledge of attachment theory, love languages, sexual blueprints, effective communication, and conflict resolution to help clients develop stronger, healthier, and more connected relationships.
I also offer coaching support for those stepping into a fresh chapter — whether that's a new role, relationship, or career — helping you gain clarity and navigate the way forward with confidence.
I have experience supporting parents and partners of neurodivergent children and adults as it's an area where specialist, compassionate support can make a real difference.
If you’re considering therapy, I offer 15-minute introductory telephone call to help us get to know each other and determine how I can best support you.

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 practical help 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 and protect their children
- 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.
