MY APPROACH

I offer a warm, confidential, compassionate and collaborative environment tailored to suit your wants and goals.  Caring for your vulnerabilities and valuing your self-care, helping you build a loving, trusting relationship with yourself whist remaining objective, thereby being ideally positioned to enable you to view your life more clearly.

​

I bring a wealth of experience both with adults and young people working individually and in groups working with: loss, anxiety, bereavement, cancer, work-related stress, depression, personal development, life changes, menopause, women’s issues, relationships and self-harm.

​

Whether you call it couples therapy, marriage counselling or relationship counselling, by seeking help you’re inviting me into the life of your relationship, to help you and your partner communicate well, disagree productively, get your needs met and address difficult issues. Understandably there’s a good deal of apprehension but what’s critical is having a couple’s therapist who will get to know your relationship. 

​

Just as every individual needs something different, so does every couple. Relationships need work, and with my help as a skilled counsellor all issues can be addressed.  Ultimately how you choose to move forward is up to you but rather than making rash decisions I can ensure decisions are made with compassion and careful thought. 

​

For many years I worked in the Corporate Financial sector, first in London and then in Bermuda and Canada before retraining to become an Integrative therapist.   This varied career paths has given me personal insight into life's pressures and taught me compassion.

​

As an integrative counsellor I tailor sessions to meet your individual needs.  Working humanistically I recognise you to be the expert on yourself supporting and facilitating as together we investigate the choices and changes available to you to improve your well-being.
