I work with a wide range of ages (18 plus) and cultures. I have extensive experience in working with couples – especially those whose relationships are currently under pressure including infidelity – and specialise in long term relationship therapy for couples.

Clients that come to see me may be experiencing any number or combination of difficulties, such as low-level depression and anxiety, or with relationship issues, both in the workplace and in personal relationships.

My therapeutic philosophy is informed by an Integrative Model of therapy. This means that I use a combined approach in my practice, that draws on and brings together different elements from different psychological therapies.

This is important to me as I believe each client and the elements that they bring from their lived experiences are unique to them. Therefore, a single therapeutic approach does not necessarily work for every individual. A helpful image of Integrative Therapy is that the therapist has large toolbox, from which they can select appropriate therapeutic tools, chosen for their suitably to fit each individual client’s needs.

An Integrative Model of therapy is also employed when I work with couples. An important therapeutic distinction when working with a couple in a relationship, is that the couple is “the client”. In this situation it is important for me as the Therapist in working with couples to serve the interests of both people in a relationship who go to make a whole.
