About Me

Are you feeling unsettled by a change in your life? Stressed? Feeling stuck and lost?

I'm a Systemic and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience. I support people facing life changes and transitions and the impact these may have on them and their relationships. I offer individual and couples counselling; I also work with families.

Life presents us with a variety of changes; changes that come at different times in different forms. 

You might be entering a different stage in life like becoming a parent, parenting teenagers, experiencing menopause, facing retirement. You might be going through separation or divorce, you might be moving houses or even migrating and resettling in a new county. 

Whether planned, or sudden and unexpected, changes can be challenging to adjust. Life transitions, even the positive ones, can be difficult to manage, sometimes leaving you feeling stressed, vulnerable, and confused.

Navigating these shifts can make us feel stuck. Our well-intentioned efforts to address challenges can inadvertently create new complexities or unintended consequences, causing us distress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. 

I’m here to help you navigate these challenges.

Whilst working together we may look into patterns and narratives that are repetitive, we will think about communication in your relationships. I will help you think about how some of your early experiences might also be contributing to where you are now, but we will mainly focus on the present. We will identify the resources you already have; explore the areas you want to work on in therapy and hopefully develop new ways. I value diversity so I will aim to help you find answers that make sense to your personal beliefs, values, and identity.

I currently offer online therapy only and can offer sessions in both English and Spanish. You are welcome to book a 15-minute initial online video meeting, so we speak and see if the way that I work suits you.
