Psychotherapeutic Counsellor for Individuals and Couples

People come to therapy for many reasons. Sometimes there is a specific issue they want support with. At other times, there is a sense that something isn't quite working - whether that's in relationships, at work, in family life, or in the relationship they have with themselves.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I aim to help you understand yourself more fully, build greater self-awareness, and make changes that are meaningful and sustainable. Therapy can help you trust yourself more, communicate more clearly, and feel more confident in your relationships and decisions.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, self-doubt and low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing and boundary issues, trauma and difficult life experiences, life transitions, questions of identity and belonging, Adult Third Culture Kid (TCK) experiences, cultural and migration-related challenges, neurodivergence, and questions around identity, sexuality and gender.

Relationships can be a source of connection and fulfilment, but they can also leave us feeling misunderstood, frustrated or alone. Couples often come to therapy feeling stuck in repetitive patterns - conversations become arguments, needs go unheard, or one person withdraws while the other tries harder to connect.

Often, the difficulty is not a lack of love or commitment, but a pattern that has developed between two people over time. Each partner may be reacting in ways that make sense from their own perspective, yet together these reactions can create cycles of conflict, withdrawal, criticism, defensiveness or disconnection.

I help couples understand what is happening between them, including how earlier experiences, family relationships, culture and individual differences may be shaping the relationship, and develop more direct and effective ways of communicating and relating. Where helpful, I may introduce simple models and tools to help make these patterns easier to understand and work with.

I work with couples experiencing communication difficulties, repetitive conflict, emotional disconnection, trust and vulnerability issues, differences in emotional or sexual needs, neurodivergence, cross-cultural differences, and major life decisions such as children, finances and commitment. I also welcome couples exploring relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures.
