Relationship Counselling and Individual Psychotherapy

I am dedicated to collaboratively working with you to help find the resources within, that may help resolve conflicts and create satisfying and healthy relationships with yourself and others. Due to your circumstance it may be difficult to access those resources alone and you may need the help of a caring and committed therapist.

Working with compassion and promoting awareness, together we explore your inner processes, observe your thoughts, feelings and body sensations. We begin to see the ways you get stuck in fixed patterns about yourself that get in the way of you leading a satisfying and healthy life. I help you to investigate and uncover how these patterns are still active and affecting your life and assist you to find new and more creative ways to resolve the problem or crisis you are facing and lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

  Relationship counselling:
  
  
  You bring your own unique ideas, values, opinions and personal history into your relationships and they may not always match your partner's. Differences can cause distress creating undue, tension, sadness, worry, fear and other problems. How do you come to appreciate the differences in others, be yourself and also be with others at the same time? I work with couples helping you deal with difference to create happier more satisfying relationships.
