Couple & Relationship Therapy

For individuals and couples who want to improve the quality of their relationships.

Online or in-person.

Stratford upon Avon, CV37 7TT.

We know ourselves through our relationships

Maybe you are in a relationship crisis. Or you want to foster a long-term, loving relationship that grows with time. Perhaps you are wondering how to love and work and parent, and also keep hold of yourself.

Our intimate adult relationships shape the quality of our lives. They also touch the deepest parts of us, and spark fears and longings we learned early on. Close relationships can feel joyful, and difficult, and maddening.

If you are feeling stuck, psychotherapy can help. This is a talking therapy for individuals and couples, which gently uncovers the ways we relate to each other, consciously and unconsciously. It can also build resilience into the future of your relationship.

My practice is compassionate, confidential, safe, and professionally regulated (MBACP).

The craft of relationships

I offer relationship psychotherapy to help with a wide range of issues. I bring together:

Psychodynamic relationship psychotherapy;
Diplomacy;
Mindfulness and endurance.

My work is informed by many years of reflection on the art of long-lasting relationships.

Relationship psychotherapy

I am qualified as a couple and individual psychotherapist with Tavistock Relationships (TR). I am a registered member of the BACP and a clinical associate member of the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy. I am a visiting clinician at TR, and I currently teach their Introduction to Couple Therapy course.

Diplomacy

I have a PhD on British community relations from the University of Cambridge. I worked as a British Diplomat for ten years, specialising in conflict resolution in the Middle East. I offer regular workshops for FCDO Families on relationship resilience.

Mindfulness and Endurance

I have taught mindfulness for couples and groups. I also co-lead twice-yearly outdoor trail running retreats in the North Yorks Moors, drawing on my experience in ultra-marathon running and coaching.
