Couples Counselling

Couples come in with various situations and outcomes. I listen from both your perspectives,  I encourage you both to look at  the relationship you wish to create. I help you both to find your own voice, and invite you both to share that with each other, I do this by slowing things down, and introducing some new skills. Whatever has brought you in to couples counselling, I look to, build up trust between you both, enabling you to open up and understand each other's perspective. This enables you both to look at difficult topics whilst building resilience to stand the tension. This allows you both to have difficult conversations and find a way in which you wish to move forward given your own  individual circumstances. I work with but not limited to, divorce, fractures, relationship problems, resentments, childhood trauma, attachment theory, conflict avoidance, high intensity conflicts, coercive control, abuse, desire, postnatal depression, miscarriage, baby loss, loss and grief.  

Individuals Counselling

I'm here to listen, to see you, to witness your story, together we slowly look at the environment, situation or circumstances encouraging you to find your voice, This sets us on a path that enables you to make your own choices, knowing what has influences you and how you wish to move forward enabling you to  honour yourself within any given situation. This is a journey of empowerment and can provide life changing outcomes.

Trauma

As a Gestalt therapist I work with different parts of self. I do this by listening to different parts of you by using  Chairwork to Process Traumatic Memories, Working with Difficult Coping Modes and Problematic Behaviors, Grief and Loss, Addressing Experiences of Abuse Using Confrontational Dialogues, and Practicing Chairwork Teletherapy.
