As a dedicated, experienced therapist and coach, I can help you grow both as an individual and in your relationships. Find out more about my approach and specialisms and how to contact me.

EXPAT THERAPY
I specialise in working with internationally mobile individuals, couples and families, including expats and those in the humanitarian and development sectors. However, my practice is inclusive and I welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life.

As a ‘serial expat’ myself (having worked in the international humanitarian and development sector for 15 years), I understand the unique challenges faced by expatriate workers, humanitarian and development professionals and their families.

Resilience is required to take on the expat lifestyle. Therapy can help with a variety of challenges that arise, whether they are specific to expats or accelerated by this unique lived experience. I bring a deep empathy and practical understanding around the stressors of this lifestyle to our sessions.

Whether you’re an expat individual or are seeking support as a couple, no matter where you are in the world, I can help.

COUPLES THERAPY
• As a couple, do you want to break through old patterns and shape a more fulfilling future together?
• Is the expatriate life leaving one or both of you feeling like your career or personal goals are being sidelined?
• Is your relationship struggling with issues like infidelity, trauma, frequent fights, growing apart or addiction?
• Are you finding yourself questioning whether to separate or work on saving your relationship?

My passion is helping you navigate and strengthen your relationships. According to the longest scientific study on adult development by Harvard Medical School, good relationships – albeit not limited to couples’ relationships – are the single most important factor for physical health, mental wellbeing and longevity. Quality relationships significantly enhance our wellbeing, providing purpose and belonging.

Couples sessions can focus on any area you’d like to address in order to thrive in your relationship. It’s not just about conflict resolution. I can help you to build your dreams together, becoming more deeply connected as you achieve your relationship goals. This could include identifying common goals and priorities, meeting challenges together and striving for increased happiness and harmony.

My approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, the most research-backed method for working with couples to date. This method helps couples build thriving, lasting relationships through proven techniques and strategies.

THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS
• Do you feel overwhelmed by the demands of family, work or life in general?
• Are you seeking to feel more comfortable in your new role as a parent or struggling with insecurity about your parenting skills?
• Do you feel isolated, struggling to find a healthy, lasting connection?

In our work together, we can look at whatever you need to explore. I’m experienced in a wide range of issues, including: anxiety & panic attacks / depression / trauma / abuse / loss & grief / identity / self-esteem and self-worth / self-harm / sexuality / stress / work-related issues / neurodiversity / finding a partner / relationships / decisions about having children / infertility / pregnancy and birth / (single) parenthood / parenting / balancing work and family life
