ABOUT

I am a fully UKCP registered specialist Couple and Family Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience of providing psychotherapy to couples and families. Alongside my private practice I have worked for the UK NHS adult mental health service as part of a medical and therapeutic team.

Key to the way I work is helping couples develop a more fulfilling relationship by:-

* Learning how to do more of what is helpful and less of what is unhelpful for a mutually satisfying relationship

* Developing skills in effective communication

* Understanding how to successfully navigate their conflicts and dilemmas.

I provide a safe, non-blaming, and non-judgmental space for couples to work through their problems and dilemmas.

When it comes to making important decisions, such as a couple deciding whether to stay together or separate, I have no agenda other than to be as useful as I can be in enabling my clients to better understand themselves, their situation, and their possibilities. This provides clients with insight and a guide for making their own important decisions.

I enjoying working with couples from all walks of life, and welcome people from all cultures, ethnicities and sexual orientations.
