I was rigorously trained as relationship therapist with Relate. I work with people in intimate partnerships of two, three or more, who want to resolve the difficulties they are facing, whether they are of a traditional (e.g. communication) or more contemporary nature, such as deciding to open up your relationship or navigating polyamory. I offer short solution focused work of 6 to 8 weeks to resolve specific problems and longer work term for people seeking to make fundamental changes and people needing support with life transitions. I provide My practice is pluralistic, this means that I will work with you in the way it suits you best. My theoretical base is systemic so I work with the stories you hold, old and new, to help you create the future you desire.As I don’t have any hard or fast rules about which modality I work in, as my client, you will be my focus; I will work with you in the way that best meets your needs. Having said that, I do love art and music, so if you’re up for it, we can use these media to help you access your deeper self.
