Hello, and Welcome!Life can be tough to navigate sometimes. We all need a little help at certain times, even if it is just to say: "Yes, you are allowed to feel this way". I am available to you as a sounding board, a listener, a safe space to unfold, drop the armour so you can take a deep breath and bring things into perspective. You are your own best teacher, and I create a holding space in which we can do this together. When we sit together, in my comfortable practice, we become fellow travellers for a moment in time.
Where needed, I shine a light in the dark corners, so you can discover what is true for you - your own strengths, your own strategies and your own solutions for managing, and more often, resolving the imbalances in your life. Most of the time you already have your own answers, but you still find you are in the same pattern, and you can't seem to break out of it. We work together to bring the answers that are just sitting at edge of your awareness to the foreground. My job is to empower you, so you can live your best life. I use all levels of our lives to support you to explore your own reasoning and decision-making skills, helping you take action to move in a different direction and to gain increased independence and self-esteem. With all due respect to other counsellors, I really am different to other counsellors because I use a different set of frameworks backed by solid neuroscience and the very latest research from my peer and supervisor network to address all aspects of being. My teachers are some of the most highly experienced thought leaders in the world, some of whom are front runners in family constellation work, trauma, relationships, depression and anxiety. No issue is off limits - we deal with anything really, life, just life... |

About Me and My Services as an Online Marriage Therapist
Ever since I started my business to help individuals recovering from abuse to couples who need help with marriage conflict resolution, I have always kept my eyes on my primary goal – supporting people through these times. I provide a relaxed, private, homely setting in my practice. No matter the source of your suffering, to perhaps not knowing how to communicate your feelings to your partner effectively, I would love to journey with you to explore what this opportunity for growth offers you. While I am present as your therapist, we always look together, as explorers, to find the options you feel you can live out in your own life.
Regain control through a process in which we work together to identify points of stuckness, disturbance and conflict. I will collaborate with you to find possible solutions while remaining at your side as you evaluate them. Acknowledging that you need facilitation might feel like a defeat, but in truth, it is merely the first step to a much healthier, happier life, bringing a new emergence of your best self through reflection, enquiry and personal growth.
Book your first session with me, whether as an individual or a couple.
