My aim is to help you find routes to potentials and possibilities you might not have acknowledged yet. If you ca make the journey with me, we can find your personal outcome, or at the very least, a realisation of what that looks like when aspects of life can be changed. For couples who have a mixed agenda of what they want from therapy, they are often surprised at finding that they want the same things when they felt themselves to be at the end of the road. Deciding to part ways and use the work to understand their part in the break up, or agree how to look after their children, are also valid outcomes.
I cover most events that happen to humans and the feelings stored up about events. Here is a short, incomplete list.
affairs
betrayals
feeling 'lost'
anxiety/depression
grief
emotional overwhelm
loss of confidence
social anxiety
relationship expectation
work pressures
feeling that the love has gone
ending a relationship and minimising hurt to each other
what to tell the children about breakups, and what not to say
leaving childhood hurts behind
recognising childhood influences in todays issues
wondering what is next
ethical non-monogamy
parental pressure - and the generational sandwich
coping with your own ageing
coping with parental ageing

A few highlights and specialities of my work:
Of course, couples work is a deeply specialised area of work, individuals have deep needs too.
I am a trauma-informed counsellor and have taken several specialist advanced training courses to equip me for this work.
I also have academic and lived experience of working with Neurodivergence.
I work with referrals from a specialist in sex and porn addiction. I work in support of the partner who feels betrayed, to help with the shock, the realisation, processing 'what next'. This is not interactive, neither therapist reports back to the other, we each work completely separately.
I support individual survivors of domestic abuse, child abuse and workplace abuse.
