About me

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.

We also offer individual sessions to clients covering a wide range of areas including: relationship issues; work difficulties; depression; bereavement, stress; anxiety; eating disorders; addictions; sexuality; domestic violence and low self esteem.

Our couples 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 also teach regular courses on improving couple relationships at City Lit adult education college in central London. We also teach counsellors in counselling organisations how to work with couples counselling.
