Working with me...
Embarking on therapy with me means setting out on a path towards achieving your personal and relational goals. I work with you as a couple and all my sessions are joint; either online via Zoom or in-person from my offices in Petersfield, Hampshire.
I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to understand your unique needs and goals. I strive to create a warm and non-judgmental environment, where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings. I value honesty and directness, and I'll work with you to develop practical strategies for lasting change.
My therapeutic approach is informed by several models, including the Gottman Method, PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) and attachment theory, which helps us understand how our early experiences shape our relationships. I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs, drawing on these tools to create a personalised therapy experience.
As a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) Reg, I strictly adhere to their Code of Ethics and practice guidelines, ensuring a professional and confidential therapeutic experience.

I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation, where we can discuss your needs and explore whether my services are a good fit for you. I offer both in-person and online sessions to accommodate your needs.

The areas I specialise in:
Trauma and Sexual Abuse
Healing from trauma, especially sexual abuse, requires a safe and compassionate space. I offer a supportive environment to explore the impact of past experiences, process difficult emotions, and develop strategies for recovery and reclaiming your sense of self. We'll work together at your own pace, focusing on building resilience and fostering a sense of safety.
Affairs and Cheating
Infidelity can deeply wound a relationship, creating feelings of betrayal, anger, and confusion. I provide a neutral space for couples to explore the underlying issues, process the emotional fallout, and determine whether and how to rebuild trust. Whether you're seeking to repair your relationship or navigate separation, I can offer guidance and support.
Cycles of Conflict
Recurring arguments and destructive patterns can leave couples feeling trapped and hopeless. I help couples identify the triggers and dynamics that fuel conflict, develop healthier communication skills, and break free from negative cycles. We'll work together to create a more peaceful and harmonious relationship, where both partners feel heard and understood.
Lack of Intimacy
Intimacy isn't just about physical closeness; it's about emotional connection, vulnerability, and trust. When intimacy fades, relationships can feel distant and unfulfilling. I help couples explore the factors that contribute to a lack of intimacy, rebuild emotional and physical connection, and create a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship.
Indecision can create a sense of stagnation and frustration, both individually and within a relationship. Whether you're facing a difficult life choice or struggling to navigate relationship changes, I can help you clarify your values, explore your options, and make informed decisions that align with your goals. We'll work together to build confidence and move forward with clarity.
