Couple & Relationship Therapy
Whether you are in a personal dilemma or relationship crisis, I can help you change the future of your relationship.
Are arguments, disconnection, or confusion about where things went wrong weighing on your relationship? I’m here to help you break free from old patterns and create meaningful change.
Maybe you just can not seem to get along anymore, and you are not sure why.
Couple therapy will help you understand yourself better in relation to your partner and the relationship dynamic and explore what keeps you stuck – which often involves recurring patterns from the past.
My aim is to support you in gaining a deeper awareness of the conscious and unconscious relationship dynamics which will help you to create a better understanding and enable both partners to relate to each other in a healthier way.
Choosing the right therapist is a crucial step in your journey. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute initial phone consultation—giving you the chance to understand my approach, ask questions, and see if we’re the right fit for your needs.

Communication Problems: Struggling to connect or constantly misunderstood? Let’s transform the way you communicate.

Dealing with Change: From new beginnings like parenthood to unexpected life transitions and blended family issues, I’ll help you grow together.
Whatever challenges you’re facing, there’s hope for a stronger, healthier relationship. Let’s take this journey together—one step at a time.
I am passionate about my work, and I am committed to providing an excellent service to help my clients:
- Develop healthy relationships
- Fulfil overall therapeutic goals within six sessions
- Provide clear techniques and strategies along with unique ways and ideas to treat stress, anxiety and depression
- Improve self-esteem
I have over ten years of experience and a proven track record of success rate with my clients, and I will support them throughout the entire journey of change.
My aim is to help you with any problem or emotional pain, which you are finding hard to handle on your own, resolve these difficulties, achieve your goals and provide you with the tools to ensure long-lasting success.
How counselling can help:
Counselling can help you with those difficult times in life when you need to resolve a problem that is stopping you from achieving your personal best. As a therapist, I believe that there is no problem that cannot be resolved to your satisfaction and there are no limits to what can be achieved within counselling.
I believe that the relationship between therapist and client can be a vehicle for growth.
Together, we can explore how events of the past, often from childhood, have contributed to your current situation. This process will promote emotional growth at your own pace. This will also help you to gain greater self-awareness, increase your esteem and help you to understand the relationship with yourself and others. This process will create a sense of inner peace and enable you to understand your emotions and gain more self-identify.
I am a fully qualified counsellor, a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I practice within the organisation's ethical framework.
As a non-judgemental therapist, I provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment where you can talk, express and reflect on any difficulties and feelings that you may find difficult to share with others.
I use different counselling approaches such as; Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt approach. I will use the appropriate counselling approach(es) to meet your personal needs and help you understand the root cause of your problems.
What to expect from the first session and beyond
During the first session, we will gather information about you, such as your previous counselling experience, and any health issues you may have, and explore the issues that have brought you to seek therapy. We will also discuss your goals for the therapy sessions and touch on your childhood experiences. The following sessions will be where the work begins, as we delve deeper into the issues to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. We will review your progress by doing a "before and after" comparison to ensure that you are making progress. Throughout the sessions, you will be given homework, resources, and recommended reading materials to support you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
