About
If you have reached this far you are probably looking for hope for your relationship. I strongly believe that therapy can help provide a hopeful and highly constructive pathway to a better relationship. I have helped many couples to meet challenges such as fostering better communication, closer connection and recovery from affairs and betrayal. I have also updated my practice to include neuro affirming adaptations for clients challenged by ADHD. I work very closely to Gottman recommended methods having found it to be highly effective for most couples. I offer assessments and both weekly sessions and intensive marathon formats.
I am also happy to work with couples at the beginning of a relationship who wish to develop the skills and approaches that support a long-term commitment.
I understand that choosing a therapist can be difficult, so offer a complimentary 30 to 45-minute Zoom introduction with no further commitment.
After many years in a commercial environment I trained at the University of Chester, UK, gaining a Masters degree in clinical counselling. My studies continue there as I work towards a Doctorate specialising in relationship counselling. I am a registered therapist at the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and have been practicing counselling since 2018. I gained a level 3 from the Gottman Institute early in 2022 and use the Gottman online relationship questionnaires to provide a personalised couple report as part of our work together.
My initial counselling training was in the person-centred approach which is a gentle and supportive way of working and fits in well the Gottman method. I offer an inclusive approach and welcome anyone who I feel able to help. If I do not feel best qualified to help I am happy to recommend someone else, if I can.
I work with couples throughout the UK in therapy online from Monday to Friday from 11am to 7pm. I also offer limited face to face session near Tarporley in Cheshire.
