How I help
Do you feel disconnected from yourself or your partner? If so, you are not alone. I believe there is hope and utilise evidence based practice, creativity and humour in an aim to make you feel 'better' - whatever that means for you. I work with couples and individuals navigating change—especially new parents, and those healing from trauma, loss, or infidelity—to reconnect with themselves and each other. Take a look at further information about couples therapy, EMDR, individual therapy and therapy for families.
We start with a free 30-minute Consultation to have a chat and find out a bit more about each other. This is a space for you to ask me questions, and for me to understand what you are seeking help with. We can get a sense of whether we will be a good fit. If you want to work with me, we will book in a first session - booking is confirmed when you pay, and I ask for payment 48hours prior to the session. We can work face to face or online and I work with individuals, couples and families.
At our first session we will chat further, work out your goals/aims for therapy, and make a plan of what seems useful/most needed. We will get an idea of how many sessions you may need, which varies depending on the way we are working and your needs. You can end the therapy contract at any time, but I ask that if this is after our first session, we have one concluding session to close the work. I use questionnaires at the beginning and end of work to determine goals/needs and track progress.
I am a systemic family practitioner, meaning I am trained to look at the systems we exist in (society, culture, family, work) and understand how they affect us. Couples therapy and Therapy for Families can help to rebuild trust, restore communication, and help you feel understood again.We will look at what’s getting in the way of closeness and peace - whether that’s stress, family patterns, or unresolved pain - to find new ways to talk, listen, and show up for each other, without blame. This can be for couples, or families with children/adolescents.
In addition, trauma can affect our whole identity and confidence. If it is clinically appropriate, I may suggest EMDR Therapy in order to process traumatic experiences, so they affect you less in your day to day life.
In my Individual Therapy I use talking alongside creative methods, to gain new perspectives and understanding. I am a registered Dramatherapist, which means I am trained to apply psychotherapy in a way that looks at the unconscious, early experiences and trauma utilising creative methods. I have some training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and enjoy using IFS techniques and principles throughout my work. Dramatherapy underpins and informs all of my clincal work.
