Relationships are the cornerstone of our lives, influencing our happiness and overall well-being. Yet, when a relationship hits rough patches, it can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed, affecting every aspect of our lives. This is where relationship counselling steps in, offering a beacon of hope and a pathway to understanding, growth, and connection.

I'm passionate about guiding couples through the complexities of relationships to a place of harmony and fulfillment. In my practice, I believe that relationship counselling isn't just about resolving conflicts; it's about delving deep into understanding oneself and one's partner, and how those dynamics shape the relationship.

Navigating through challenges alone can feel like an uphill battle, especially when communication breaks down. Seeking help, though daunting, is a courageous step towards healing and growth. Through counselling, we create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and differences, fostering empathy, understanding, and compassion.

Together, we'll unravel the intricacies of your relationship, working through tough emotions and communication barriers. It's an opportunity not just to mend what's broken but to enrich and deepen your connection with each other. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals, providing you with the tools and insights to navigate the journey ahead.

Counselling can be transformative, where you'll not only learn more about yourself and your partner but also discover new ways to relate and connect with each other. 

I initially go through an assessment process which entails talking to the couple together and each person separately, this helps to really understand what is happening and what the focus of the work will be. This can take a few sessions but is an important part of the work.

With a deep sense of empathy and intuition, I offer counselling that is thoughtful, relational, and paced with care. I continue to develop my work through reflection, training, and experience, including the use of EMDR alongside talking therapy where appropriate.

I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard without pressure to explain or perform. My client-centred approach supports you in exploring and making sense of life experiences that may be causing distress, allowing understanding and integration to develop in a way that feels right for you.

When working with couples, I aim to create a space where both people feel safe to be understood, supporting clearer communication and a more collaborative way of relating. Therapy is not about fixing, but about creating the conditions for clarity, healing, and change to unfold over time.
