About me
Everyone deserves to feel at their best and to receive support when they require it, without shame. I believe that no one's circumstances are less worthy than others. If you are seeking to thrive, understand and explore your own circumstances better, to regain a sense of energy, hope, wellbeing and vitality, (whether working through distress such as anxiety or depression, challenging personal events, setbacks within relationships, grief, loss, endings, transitions and change), I am here to support your intentions towards health, change, meaning-making and growth. We all need a bit of help sometimes, without judgement.
I offer Couples Counselling for straight couples and for people within LGBTQ+ relationships. You may be struggling with your connection with one another, may have destructive patterns in how you are communicating, you may have been through an experience of infidelity or are struggling to say difficult things to one another that need to be said. Through the approaches that I use, called 'Imago Relationship Therapy' and 'Transactional Analysis', you will learn how you both become 'stuck' and how to promote safety and positivity within your relationship. People attending the couples therapy need to be willing to make the changes necessary, and want to work through their 'stuff' together. With couples, areas you may wish to discuss in sessions include Infertility Issues, Sexual Issues, Co-Parenting, Separation, Jealousy, Dealing with Pornography/Internet Sex Use, Divorce, New Relationships, Getting Married, and Conflict.
Our emotional health struggles show up through all sorts of bodily “symptoms”, be it low mood, sexual difficulties, anxious feelings, sleep problems etc, which can affect how we relate to others and how we can treat ourselves (for instance, at times we might isolate ourselves, or feel guilt and shame). I believe it is the safe, trusting relationship we build together that unlocks the change, healthier coping skills and peace of mind we are seeking. I work in a trauma-informed way, explaining how our stress symptoms show up in our bodies, inviting us to consider how our development and history might be affecting how well we are coping in the here-and-now. Transactional Analysis is a type of psychology that helps us explore how our experiences have shaped us into the person we have become.
