Do you need help with :


  • Private thoughts, personal feelings or behaviours that are intruding on your life? The core conditions of Individual Psychotherapy (Empathy, Congruence and Unconditional Positive Regard) enable the speaking of the unspeakable safely and in such a way that you are heard and understood.
  • Finding yourself doing the same things again and again expecting a different result? Compulsions, obsessions and repeated patterns respond well to the close attention of Individual Psychotherapy by addressing the underlying issues in a safe environment.
  • Arguments that repeat and go round and round without resolution? Circular discussions often come from emotional positions related to defence mechanisms which have their origin in early life and are actually beyond their 'use by' date. Explore these through Relationship Counselling.
  • Understanding how you or your lover behave in relationship difficulties? People are often mystified or terrified by their lover's or their own strong emotions. Talking these through can alleviate reactivity and prevent relationships from breaking down.
  • Is your relationship in crisis or heading that way? Are you "at your wit's end"? Perhaps things have gone further already than you ever thought they could... Relationship counselling is much more successful the earlier it is embarked upon. Don't wait, act now. Email me
  • Have you "gone cold" in your relationship and don't know why? The loss of the deliciousness of intimacy can be very frightening but there is always an explanation. Nothing happens for no reason. Individual psychotherapy can provide explanations, insights and experiments for change.
  • Are you having an affair with someone else? Or wanting to? Or do you think your lover is? Individual Psychotherapy and Relationship Counselling see affairs as an indication of a problem with intimacy, not the cause of it... Don't be scared to explore this painful and possibly turbulent part of your love life...

Do you you struggle with any of these issues and want to find a way through?


  • Childhood Trauma can "lock up" relationships, which then become the stage for the painful return of repressed memories.
  • Are you affected by Past sexual abuse? Although this is much in discussion in our community at the moment, it can still be the hardest thing to turn your attention to personally. Perhaps the current publicity given to this is revealing something to you about your own experience... Great distress can be relieved by making the courageous move to talk about it.
  • Read more here about Gender and Sexuality, sex or love addictions, (or other addictions) mis-matching of desire, impotence and other sexual problems.
  • Are you considering Relationship Counselling, also known as Couples Therapy? Relationships are the crucible in which so much human difficulty is smelted; a kind of collecting place for all those experiences that we have not been able to understand or resolve or complete... I have been doing couple therapy for more than 19 years.
  • Affairs shake love partnerships to the core - betrayal has a such a sharp cutting edge. Explore a different way to make sense of this.
  • Arguments, the war zone of relationships, can do relentless emotional damage to whole families. Anger has two faces : a fire for change; and the fuel for destruction. Learn how to stop arguments and use anger constructively.
  • Depression serves to protect otherwise unbearable losses or conceal unresolved inner conflicts. Anxiety often goes hand-in-hand with depression and tells you something needs your attention. Understand how to explore your depression and listen to your anxiety and use both for change.
  • Early childhood experience creates particular Attachment wounds or styles which then reappear in our love relationships as recursive yearnings or under-cover resentments. Do you know what your attachment style is?
  • Self confidence and self esteem can easily be lost in the complexities of relationships and affects intimacy and communication. Self image is formed early in life; and although intellect can defy it, the feelings often linger unconsciously undermining pleasure and satisfaction.
