My experience as a relationship counsellor,family therapist /mediator and Social Worker enables me to support and assist people to work through their personal and  relationship problems.  

Individuals

Struggling in their relationships, going through difficult times, or times of change. I work with a client centred focus, in a warm and safe environment. i have unconditional positive regard for my clients so they may focus on the here and now. I am genuine and have empathic understanding without making judgement. 

I work collaboratively with the client to help identify patterns of behaviour, developing an understanding of what keeps them stuck. looking at what their contribution to being stuck is.

Couples

I work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties such as communication, breakdown, trust issues, inequality, conflict resolution, maintaining healthy relationships and any concerns the couple are experiencing. 

My approach to working with couples is by Systemic Therapy. By looking at the couple as a system, how they interact with each other, looking at their patterns of interaction such as pursue/ withdraw. By looking at behaviours such as avoidance of conflict, defensiveness in, blaming, miscommunicating, overgeneralising, and being negative about the relationship. Working with the problem as the problem.

Families

I work with families that may be experiencing conflict, challenging family dynamics, and differences with parenting skills. Children may be experiencing self-esteem issues. Enhancing family relationships by identifying patterns of interaction, enhances wellbeing and enjoyment between family members bringing back harmony and balance to the family.
