A bit about me

I know how difficult it can be to reach out for support, especially when things in your relationship feel complicated, heavy, or hard to put into words.

I offer a calm, affirming space for couples to explore their relationship with honesty, care, and mutual respect. My work is trauma-informed and relational, with an understanding of how past experiences, identity, and nervous system differences can shape communication, connection, and conflict.

I am a qualified psychotherapist working in a relational, trauma-informed way, supporting couples with communication, conflict, neurodivergence and the impact of past experiences on relationships.

What matters most to me is creating a space where you both feel safe, respected and able to speak openly. I see therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to understand what is happening between you and find a way forward that feels realistic and meaningful.

My approach is warm, honest and down-to-earth. I draw on Gestalt, existential and attachment-based ideas, alongside somatic trauma work, to support couples in creating more secure and supportive ways of relating.

Support for couples who want to communicate better

If you are a couple juggling busy lives, work, family and responsibilities, it can be unsettling to notice that conversations no longer go anywhere helpful. You may still care deeply about one another, but feel stuck in patterns that lead to frustration, distance, or misunderstanding.

I support couples to build deeper understanding, navigating differences, and creating relationships that feel safer, more connected, and more sustainable. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in trust, allowing each partner to feel heard while working towards meaningful change together.

I offer couples therapy for partners who want to move forward with greater clarity and steadiness, without pressure to make immediate or drastic decisions.

When couples come to therapy with me

Couples often come to see me when:

​

• Conversations escalate quickly or shut down altogether

• One or both of you feels unheard, criticised, or emotionally distant

• Anxiety, trauma, or ongoing stress is affecting your relationship

• Neurodivergence is part of your dynamic

• You feel stuck in patterns that do not seem to shift

• You want to strengthen your relationship before difficulties deepen

You do not need to be at crisis point to come to therapy. Many couples come because they want to handle things differently and protect what matters to them.

How I work with couples

In our sessions, I help you slow things down and look more closely at what is happening between you. We explore the patterns that show up in difficult moments and begin to understand what is driving them.

Alongside this, I offer practical support so you can:

​

• Recognise patterns as they are happening

• Understand the impact of past experiences on current reactions

• Communicate more clearly and directly

• Stay engaged in conversations that would previously escalate or shut down

• Respond in ways that reduce tension rather than add to it

The aim is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help you relate in ways that feel more manageable, respectful and connected.

Neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive couples therapy

I work with all couples and relationship structures, and I have particular understanding of relationships where neurodivergence, such as ADHD and autism, is part of the dynamic.

I approach differences with curiosity and care, recognising that different ways of processing, communicating and experiencing the world can shape how couples relate to one another.

My work is LGBTQ+ affirming and, as someone who is neurodivergent, I bring both lived experience and professional understanding into my work with couples. I understand how identity, difference, and past experiences can shape the way we connect, communicate, and feel within relationships, particularly when those experiences have not always been met with understanding or safety.

About me

I am a qualified psychotherapist working with couples. I have experience supporting couples with anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence and relationship challenges.

I aim to create a calm, non-judgemental space where both partners feel able to speak openly, and where it is possible to reflect on what is happening without things becoming overwhelming.
