Through my extensive experience in relationship therapy, I guide couples in resolving conflicts, rebuilding trust, and fostering open communication. In therapy, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where couples can navigate hurt and betrayal, leading to compromises and positive resolutions. My goal is to ensure the well-being and happiness of those I work with, even if the relationship seems damaged. Whether couples find a path to unity or decide to part ways, my aim is for them to leave therapy in a happy and healthy place with improved communication.
Understanding our painful childhood patterns can cause severe problems in relationships. Secure attachment is within reach of everyone, but sometimes we need help to see how we were shaped and take the courageous decision to be different. Attachment based couples therapy helps couples improve their emotional connection and enhance their relationships. This approach focuses on understanding how each partner's attachment style and patterns influence their interactions . The therapist's role is to collaborate with each couple to create a secure, supportive place so that both partners feel heard and validated.

Transforming Family Dynamics
If disputes impact the extended family, seeking help becomes crucial. Children exposed to arguments may face long-term consequences, making relationship therapy essential for a stable and happy family life. During sessions, arguments are transformed into productive conversations, enabling couples to implement advice at home and rebuild normalcy.
Relationship issues can also affect work-life, making it challenging to focus and resulting in decreased productivity. In therapy, I provide a safe space for individuals to share thoughts and feelings, helping clear the mind for improved work performance. A positive mindset developed at work can then contribute to resolving relationship issues at home.
How I Work
Assessment Session
This session aims to explore the couple's attachment histories, identifying factors contributing towards current difficulties.
Therapy Sessions
I work in an attachment focused manner, providing a supportive, empathic, respectful, challenging and non-judgemental place in which we can identify attachment styles and examine how these patterns manifest in communication, intimacy and conflict resolution. Sessions can be limited in number or take place over a longer term according to your goals. Most clients see me every week.
I am dedicated to incorporating anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory principles into my practice, aligning with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. In my work, I infuse enthusiasm, commitment, and a sense of humour, acknowledging that therapy is not only challenging but also has the potential to be invigorating.
