“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives”
– Esther Perel
I'm a Relate-trained relationship counsellor and psychotherapist with 19 years’ experience supporting individuals and couples in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and online across the UK.
I work with people facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, stress, loss, life changes and low self-esteem.
Counselling offers space to explore what is happening, understand the challenges you are facing, and consider what may help you move forward.
Support for Couples
“You cannot have real intimacy without truth.”
– Terry Real
When couples become caught in the same arguments, or begin drifting apart in silence, it can become difficult to find a way forward together.
Often what appears to be conflict about communication, intimacy, parenting, or daily pressures is connected to something deeper — wanting to feel valued, understood, emotionally safe, or close again.
Couples counselling offers a calm, neutral space to better understand what may be happening within the relationship, improve communication, and begin exploring difficult patterns together.
Support may include:
• repeated arguments
• emotional withdrawal or distance
• broken trust or affairs
• intimacy difficulties
• parenting and family pressures
• major life transitions
Support for Individuals
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
— Carl Rogers
Many people come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure why life no longer feels manageable in the way it once did.
Individual therapy offers a calm, confidential space to explore relationship difficulties, stress, low mood, self-esteem, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck.
Together, we explore the experiences, emotional patterns, and ways of coping that may be affecting how you relate to yourself and others.
Over time, therapy can help create greater self-understanding, confidence, and a clearer sense of direction in your life and relationships.
Trauma, Anxiety and Stress Support
“Trauma is not what happens to you; it’s what happens inside you as a result of what happened.” — Dr. Gabor Maté
Trauma, anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm can affect not only how you feel within yourself, but also your relationships, confidence, and ability to cope day to day.
Therapy offers a calm, supportive space to better understand these experiences at your own pace, without pressure or judgement.
Whether difficulties feel recent or long-standing, counselling can help create greater steadiness, understanding, and emotional resilience over time.
