Counselling & psychotherapy

Different needs. One safe, collaborative approach.

I work with individuals, couples and families using established therapeutic approaches, selected around the person rather than applied as a formula.

For individuals

Adult therapy

Therapy can help when past experiences keep shaping the present, when anxiety or low mood narrows daily life, or when relationships and change feel difficult to navigate.

  • Trauma & PTSD
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Loss & bereavement
  • Self-esteem
  • Identity
  • Life transitions
  • Neurodiversity

For relationships

Couples therapy

A relationship can become organised around conflict, distance or mistrust. Therapy offers a calmer place to understand the cycle between you and practise a different way of responding.

  • Communication
  • Conflict
  • Trust
  • Infidelity
  • Separation
  • Connection

For families

Children & family work

My family work is attachment-focused and informed by Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. I work with children, young people, parents, foster carers and adoptive families, with careful attention to safety and consent.

  • Attachment
  • Developmental trauma
  • Family breakdown
  • Fostering
  • Adoption support
  • Parent–child relationships

A focused approach

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is a structured therapy used to help people process distressing memories and experiences. We will discuss whether EMDR is appropriate before deciding to use it.

  • Traumatic memories
  • PTSD
  • Anxiety
  • Distressing experiences

How I work

Trauma-informed and attachment-focused

These terms describe the lens through which I understand distress. Rather than asking only “what is wrong?”, we consider what has happened, how you adapted and what your mind and body may still be trying to protect you from.

I draw on integrative, humanistic, systemic, relational and solution-focused approaches. My family work is DDP-informed and supervised by a DDP trainer and consultant. My EMDR practice is also supervised.

A note on fit: no single approach is right for everyone. The first session helps us decide whether I can offer the support you need. If not, I will be clear about that.
