We are born in relationship, we experience wounds in relationship, and we can find healing in relationship.
Anxiety in Relationships - Helping you to manage anxiety that impacts your relationships, including fear of rejection, overthinking or insecurity.
Attachment and Avoidance - Working with the struggle around emotional or physical intimacy and patterns of avoidance.
Conflict Resolution - Providing insight and tools to work through disagreements constructively without resorting to blame, avoidance or resentment.
Recovery from Infidelity - Offering support and strategies for rebuilding trust and healing after betrayal.
What to Expect in Therapy
In our sessions we will explore the unique dynamics of your relationship. I will help you to uncover the underlying patterns that may be contributing to emotional disconnection or conflict, whether that is communication breakdowns, unmet needs or past trauma. Together, we’ll work on building new understanding to create emotional safety, foster trust and enhance connection.
Why Work with Me?
I am an experienced and compassionate therapist with a genuine hope for people to experience the best from their relationships. We can feel so blind-sided when relationships cause pain and confusion. Being able to sift through these experiences and get to the underlying needs we have; gain understanding of the wounds that drive us to to behave in ways we don't fully understand, to see why we react in ways we don't want to, or to recognise why we endure situations we know don't serve us -are all things we can take with us forever.
I offer in-person sessions and online therapy.
In addition I work with -
Anxiety: generalised, health anxiety and social anxiety
Bereavement and loss
Depression and low mood
Divorce and seperation
Family conflict
Fear and panic attacks
Low self-esteem
Overwhelm, stress and burnout
New parents - changing dynamics
Transitions - menopause, empty nest, life-re-evaluation, career changes and retirement.

Counsellor, MBACP
Specializing in Anxiety and Couples Therapy, I provide therapeutic counselling support for those dealing with depression and relationship issues.

Relationships are intricate arenas where two people come together with their unique expectations, backgrounds, communication styles, and relationship histories. At times, these differences can lead to misunderstandings, conflict, or feelings of disconnection.
Some individuals may experience anxiety, and anxiety and couples therapy can be particularly beneficial in addressing this, especially for those who constantly seek reassurance or feel overwhelmed by emotional dynamics. Others may lean toward avoidance, pulling back when intimacy or conflict arises, which can also create distance and frustration. These patterns are more common than you might think, and with the right therapeutic counselling support, they can be effectively worked through.
My Approach
As a therapist, I provide an open and curious space where you and your partner can explore your relationship concerns without fear of judgment or opinion, just open and empathic exploration.
I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches, using proven methods to help you make sense of yourself and each other.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at disrupted emotional connections that can lead to disconnection, conflict, or miscommunication, so that trust and intimate connection can be restored.
Transactional Analysis explores how we move between different states of being and brings awareness to how reactive communication, such as criticism, withholding affection, or angry outbursts, can play out in our relationships.
Attachment Theory explores how we sought safety and tried to get our needs met in our formative years, as these needs (and ways of getting those needs met) persist throughout our lives.
Ultimately, the journey of couples therapy is about raising awareness and giving context to the sometimes dysfunctional way we strive to be loved, understood, accepted, and cherished. This process goes beyond healthier intimate relationships, extending into better relationships with ourselves and others in our lives, particularly when addressing depression and relationship issues.
In-Person Therapy
I work in-person from Central Margate in Kent.
Online Therapy
Online therapy is a great option for couples who would like to cut out travel and attend therapy sessions from a private space at home or work. There is the added benefit of being able to attend therapy from different locations if ever need be.
Sessions are held over Zoom video call, which is a safe and reliable platform. I have undergone extensive extra training to ensure that online therapy is every bit as vibrant, interactive, and effective as in-person sessions.
The relationship that we build is the foundation of the work that we will do together, and as such, finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with—that is the right 'fit'—is essential. I want all of my clients to have that experience, and that is why I invite you to have an initial get-together to get a feel for what our sessions would be like. I have a wonderful network of fellow counselors that I can refer you to if you decide that I am not the right counselor for you.
