This method is designed for couples experiencing emotional disturbance in their relationships. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) from The College of Cognitive Therapies London, both accredited by the National Counselling Society (NCS). I am also a qualified Mediator, experienced in resolving disputes across family, neighbourhood, and employment settings. This has given me valuable insight into how relationships break down when irrational demands or unhelpful expectations are present. By combining my REBT training with my experience as a mediator, I deliver RECT in a way that supports couples in moving past destructive patterns and building healthier, more constructive ways of relating.

Alongside my private practice, I have also worked as a mediator, helping people resolve disputes in family, workplace, and community settings. My specialist focus is couples counselling. I combine my training in CBT and REBT with my mediation expertise to provide a structured and supportive approach. I help couples identify destructive beliefs, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild trust and communication. ## How I Can Help We'll collaboratively explore your relationship goals, whether you're seeking to strengthen your bond, navigate separation amicably, or discern the path forward. I'll help you develop clearer communication skills, enabling you to express needs and listen actively, fostering deeper understanding and connection. We'll work to identify and replace unhelpful interaction patterns, equipping you with practical tools to build a more resilient and fulfilling partnership. I'll support you in reducing emotional reactivity, allowing for more thoughtful decision-making and a clearer perspective on your relationship's future. Leveraging evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy, I'll guide you in re-establishing emotional safety and intimacy within your relationship.
