I’m a specialised relationship therapist trained in the Developmental Model by Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson as well as providing psychotherapy to individuals. I’ve developed my skills in the field of psychotherapy over the last 20 years and prior to that, I worked in a diverse range of jobs helping me see life from many angles.
My enjoyment of learning and expanding my knowledge means I stay current with new information that I draw on to work with couples and individuals in ways that meet you where you are. My style is collaborative and even if you present with differing agendas, as a couple, I will help you navigate the way forward.
I love busting myths around how a relationship ‘should’ be. Instead, helping you redefine what will work for you as individuals and as a couple. We can all get caught in patterns of behaviour that no longer serve. A pair of fresh ‘eyes’ on the dynamics can provide the shift towards rebuilding the relationship you truly desire.
