About me

Hi all,

I am qualified as an Integrative Couples Psychotherapist/Counsellor in Person Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT modalities - which means that we can use the best part of these modalities (where appropriate) when working together. I also have knowledge and experience of EFT (Emotional Focused Therapy) and SFBT (Solution Focused Brief Therapy).

Although, I believe that the skills and experience that I have learned are massively important, I also truly believe the 'therapeutic relationship' between me and you is just as important.

People often seek counselling for any number of reasons, whether they are suffering from depression, anxiety, feeling low, relationship issues, simply want to offload or it may be something that is deeper.

We will work together to see if it is something 'surface level' or whether it is deeper and use the relevant therapy accordingly.

From here, we will hopefully be able to work through whatever is going on for you and in turn, for you then to feel better, lighter, happier and any other positive outcome that is personal to you.

With regards to couples, the question starts with, do you want to save your relationship? Couples Therapy works in two ways, and ideally that it helps to restore your relationship to where it was and potentially help make it even better. However on the flip side, it may help you both realise that the relationship is over but helps you both come to terms with that realisation.

Ultimately, I love what I do and am easy to talk to, so by all means contact me for an initial chat.
