How I work

I draw on evidence-based approaches and tailor them to what you need.

EFT — Emotionally Focused Therapy

Helps couples understand the emotional patterns behind conflict and distance, so you can respond to each other with more safety and connection.

SFT — Solution-Focused Therapy

A practical, goal-oriented approach that builds on your strengths and what’s already working, focusing on small, achievable steps forward.

IFS — Internal Family Systems

Explores the different “parts” of you, like the inner critic, the protector, or the worrier, with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand what each one needs.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

A research-based map of what helps relationships last, integrated with EFT-informed and trauma-informed care.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Practical tools to notice how you interpret events, test those interpretations, and respond differently.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT-informed skills to ride out intense emotions, care for yourself, and stay connected to the people you love.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters to you.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Notice what is happening inside you sooner and more kindly, so you have more choice in how you respond. Includes mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT).

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Focused attention and deep relaxation, used as one careful tool within psychotherapy to support change.
