About me
When communication breaks down, resentments begin to build. Over time, this can create an unhealthy dynamic between you both. We are then left making assumptions about our partner, and those assumptions are often incorrect.
Whether you're feeling disconnected from one another, struggling to communicate, trying to rebuild trust, or wondering whether your relationship still a future has, counselling can help you better understand what's happening between you, strengthen communication, and explore the possibilities for moving forward together.
In addition to supporting couples with communication difficulties, conflict, intimacy issues, and the impact of affairs, I also have experience working with relationships affected by ADHD, addictions, mental health difficulties, and sexual struggle . These challenges can place significant strain on a partnership, often leading to misunderstandings, resentment and disconnection.
How Couples Counselling Works
We begin with an assessment session to understand your relationship, the difficulties you are facing, and what you would like to achieve. From there, most couples attend between 6 and 10 sessions, where we work on improving communication, understanding relationship patterns, rebuilding connection, and resolving ongoing difficulties. Where appropriate, individual sessions, worksheets, and practical exercises may be incorporated to support the work between sessions. My aim is to provide a safe, balanced, and supportive space where both partners feel heard, understood, and able to create meaningful change within their relationship.
For individual clients I work with a range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, and codependent patterns. I have a particular interest in supporting people who are in, or recovering from, controlling, emotionally abusive, or manipulative relationships. Many people in these situations have spent a long time doubting themselves, feeling confused, exhausted, or disconnected from who they are. Together, we can work towards rebuilding confidence, strengthening boundaries, and helping you reconnect with yourself.
You're welcome to get in touch for a free 15-minute introductory call. There is no pressure or obligation just an opportunity to see whether working together feels right for you.

Member organisations
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.
