About

I’ve spent years trying to make sense of my own family dynamics – I love supporting people like yourself to make meaning of your own story. I’m really passionate about family narratives; I’m particularly drawn to people – like you – who felt not seen, heard, or emotionally validated.

Growing in confidence to have a voice in your own story, knowing you have needs, asking for them to be met, and having a felt sense that you are deserving and worthy.

Working as a couples therapist

I love working with couples. If only we had more guidance about relationships growing up, who we’d be drawn too, what to expect, and knowing relationships take work – lots of work.

I’m fascinated by family patterns, narratives, and timelines that have a huge impact on shaping how we see ourselves in the world and how we show up – all of these patterns we take into our relationships.

I absolutely love discovering patterns and creating understanding of present conflict with couples – just like the two of you.  

I’m super excited when couples start to see their own part in relational conflict and stop blaming each other. When partners can be more empathetic and emotionally connected – this totally lights me up.

How my passion developed

I’m fascinated by relational dynamics due to my own family experiences. I am drawn to couples where there has been infidelity, an affair, an emotional affair, or a betrayal within a monogamous relationship.

I want to see couples like yourselves, repair from these experiences  - if not repair - to have a better ending; for yourselves, your children and the wider family system. This type of betrayal resurfaces old wounds and can be highly emotional – One of my strengths is to stay with you both to navigate this painful and tricky terrain.

This work gives me creative freedom, as a therapist to work with you and your loved ones in a sensitive, curious, and often fun way.  

How I live out my own passions

This life, I appreciate is a journey, and we are never fixed because we were never broken. We are an unfolding landscape.

My landscape has changed; family dynamics, conversations, relationships with friends and partners – some with deep sadness and grief and others embraced with passion and excitement.

I have a voice in my own story and my passion is to support others particularly women to find their voice and take centre stage in their own lives. I work with men and non-binary people too with just as much passion, but I am a woman, and my journey has been shaped by my womanliness.

The unfolding of my own landscape brings me here to work with you or you and your partner.

How I can help others

Trauma ripples through family systems and into our intimate relationships; affecting all aspects of life. Trauma healing is for the individual; for the couple, the parental system, the child(ren) through their parents, and the next generations, yet to arrive.

My passions outside of therapy

When I’m not working; I love yoga and meditation - movement and breathe are my friends. If there’s a dance floor, I am on it – moving like no one is watching. My inner child loves roller skating – wind in my hair, smile across my face and floods of childhood memories of rolling down hills.  

I love to laugh in life and in the therapy room. My cats, Mr Pickles & Mimpi are dear to me – giving and receiving love from their human in their own special way. I’m at my very happiest on a “Road Trip”; solo and joint adventures with my partner. The open road; music, podcasts, and audio books.

I love making things, pottery, colouring, stitching and collage. I love reading, journaling, and thought-provoking movies.
