About me

I am a UKCP accredited Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist. I offer open-ended, long-term psychotherapy and time-limited, short-term counselling. I work within a secure, confidential, non-judgmental and empathic environment. My approach is relational, which is an efficacious and powerful model of working with individuals who struggle with psychological, emotional and relational distress. I work with clients from different cultures, backgrounds, lifestyles and sexual orientations.

My approach to couples therapy

We will explore together each partner's feelings, beliefs, and behaviours that are impacting the relationship making sure that you both feel heard and respected. We will discuss therapeutic goals and issues such as communication, intimacy, trust, roles, and unmet needs. We will work towards improving the relationship, resolving conflicts, enhancing communication, and fostering emotional intimacy through different techniques.

Our first couples session

During the first session both partners have the opportunity to share their perspectives in a structured and nonjudgmental space. Each partner will be encouraged to speak freely and openly. I will ask you questions related to the following points: The history of the relationship (how you have met, major life events). Current challenges or reasons for seeking therapy. Each partner’s view of the problem. Individual backgrounds. What you hope to gain from therapy.
