About me
I am a specialist Couple and Family Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience of therapy for couples, adults in relationship, and families. Currently I am able to offer online couple and adult relationship therapy sessions.
Key to the way I work is helping adults whether in a monogamous or open relationship to foster a more fulfilling relationship by:-
- Learning how to do more of what is helpful and less of what is unhelpful for their relationship
- Developing skills in effective communication
- Understanding how to successfully navigate their conflicts and dilemmas.
I provide a safe, non-blaming, and non-judgemental space for adults in relationship to work through their problems, dilemmas and hopes.
When it comes to making important decisions such as deciding whether to stay together or separate, I have no agenda other than to be as useful as I can be in enabling my clients to better understand themselves, their situation, and their possibilities. This provides clients with insight and a guide for making their own important decisions.
I have experience in working with heterosexual and LGBTQIA+ adults who are experiencing:-
- Ongoing and unresolved conflicts
- Difficulties in communication
- Impact of one partner suffering from depression/other mental health issues
- Considering separation and/or divorce
- Issues around anger, abuse and/or violence in the relationship
- Challenges of having different backgrounds/cultures
- Sexual tensions/difficulties
- Moving on from infidelity
- Demands of new baby/extended family/step-children on the couple relationship
- Navigating consensual non-manogamy
Alongside my private practice I have worked for the NHS in adult mental health services and have many years experience of working with adult relationships and families where a partner or other family member has experienced, or is experiencing mental health difficulties such as depression or psychosis.

Member organisations

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
