Individual Therapy

Life transitions such as a new job or relationship, a sense of confusion or deepening awareness about your identity, divorce, moving, and the death of a loved one are some of the situations that can prompt intense or unfamiliar feelings to emerge.

Perhaps you have been feeling increasingly irritable, sad, anxious or burnt out. When prolonged, these states can deplete your vital energy.

I will be very interested to hear anything about you, your present and past experiences – whenever it feels right for you to share. I will respect your own pace. My aim is to help you feel safe and emotionally held so that you can look at aspects of your life you may wish to explore, accept or change. Your narrative might show mistaken, limiting beliefs you may be carrying about yourself and others, and which you may want to update.

Your wounded parts are welcome to come forward and heal, leading to integration and a stronger sense of who you are. Your personal needs, maybe neglected in the past, will hopefully become clearer to you, as you expand your ability to meet them. Life can become more spontaneous, healthier and fulfilling.

As a first step, I encourage you to get in touch and to arrange a twenty-minute introductory conversation over a call or video call. I offer this free of charge, so that you can tell me more about yourself and get a better idea about the way I work. If by the end of this first conversation we both feel that working together could be beneficial, we would then arrange your regular sessions.

Therapy and counselling can be helpful for issues including:

– Anger and frustration

– Anxiety, panic, worry and stress

– Bereavement and grief

– Body image and self-esteem

– Dealing with the inner critic, intrusive thoughts

– Depression, lack of motivation

– Healing from difficult family relationships

– Identity and sexuality concerns

– Life transitions

– Personal growth, self-confidence

– Procrastination and avoidance

– Relationship and dating difficulties

– Self-defeating and addictive behaviors

– Trauma, bullying and abuse

Couple Therapy

Left unattended, rifts in relationships will erode the joy of sharing your life with someone who has been really important to you.

Two people who are aiming at repairing what went wrong in their relationship and connecting more deeply, need a constructive atmosphere; one that promotes a sense of being understood and appreciated, of feeling safe, secure, and having hope to obtain positive outcomes.

As a couple counsellor, I will attentively listen to your concerns and invite you into a conversation about your experiences in a way that is acknowledging of both of you individually, and of your history together. I will provide a framework to encourage you to effectively listen to one another, fostering a caring and nurturing dialogue. A restored capacity to be present and attuned with each other leads to emotional connection, facilitates conflict resolution and re-establishes trust.

I work with people who want to better understand and improve relationships of all kinds: marriages and romantic relationships of all sexualities, as well as friendships, parent and child, siblings and so on.

Relationship therapy can help address many issues including:

– Adjustment to life changes
– Anger and resentment
– Arguing
– Bereavement and grief
– Communication difficulties
– Harmful behavious
– Infidelity and affairs
– Jealousy and control issues
– Lack of intimacy and connection
– Premarital counselling
– Sexual issues
– Traumatic event(s)
– Trust

Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a safe and supportive space where individuals come together to share their experiences and concerns, under the leadership of a therapist.

This is a great opportunity to be seen and heard, to witness other people’s narratives and to learn from and with each other. During group sessions, members work to express their own challenges and aspirations, feelings, ideas, and reactions as freely and honestly as possible. This provides opportunities for change and growth. It promotes self-understanding, the acquisition of skills for dealing with your concerns, and improvement in your relationships.

Some benefits of group therapy include:

– Counting on others, camaraderie
– Developing self-awareness
– Having accountability and motivation to persist
– Improving communication skills
– Increasing personal confidence
– Learning different perspectives
– Making your voice heard
– Managing emotions
– Self-discovery: embrace all parts of you
– Sense of belonging
– Setting healthy boundaries
