Couple Psychotherapy

I am an experienced psychotherapist, highly specialised in working with couples. I have worked with people from all backgrounds to help them face emotional challenges and relationship difficulties.
I hold a BACP-accredited clinical degree in Couple and Individual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from the internationally renowned Tavistock Relationships where I still work as a visiting clinician.
I see clients in London at TR, in my practice in Hook Norton and online.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP 419146) and the Tavistock Relationships Association for Psychotherapists and Counsellors (TRAPC), and I adhere to their professional codes and ethical guidelines.
About couple therapy
The focus of couple therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, confidential and supportive space where you and your partner can better understand yourselves, each other and your relationship.
Our early experiences have an impact on our development and the way we attach and relate to others. Being in a couple relationship can put us back in touch with difficult emotions that we struggle to understand, or put into words. As a result, we can repeat unhelpful patterns which prevent us from leading the life we want.
Identifying and understanding these patterns through dialogue can help you work through difficulties, and instigate positive change in your relationship.
My approach
My approach is guided by psychodynamic thinking and attachment theory, but I offer a personalised care to every client. For some, a focus on past events is crucial. For others, the focus will remain primarily on the here and now. Sessions can be tailored to your unique needs and goals, allowing for a customised therapeutic experience.
I offer a safe, confidential and compassionate space where you can feel heard and supported. At times I might challenge you, notice interesting patterns or seek to make sense of something you have shared at a deeper level.
Therapy is a stimulating, sometimes challenging, and ultimately rewarding journey which we embark on together. Rather than spoon feed you short term solutions, it will help you find your own long-term answers, and reconnect with yourself and with others.
Examples of couple issues that we can address
