How I Work
What makes working with me different?
I don't work the way most couples therapists do.
I'm a specialist couples therapist and coach. I work in a precise, structured way towards a clear goal.
In traditional couples therapy, you can find yourself coming to sessions week after week, not really knowing what you're working on, how long it's going to take, how much it's going to cost — and you don't even know if it's going to work.
I take a different approach. When you sign up to work with me, there's a clear goal, a clear path, and a suggested, finite time and financial commitment. We track your progress so you can see how our work together is improving your relationship — and I keep you accountable.
An open secret about couples therapists:
Many therapists don't know how to work with couples. They've trained to work with individuals and apply that approach to couples. This might feel supportive, but it's not enough when your relationship is in crisis.
Couples therapy is very different from individual therapy.
It requires specialised training. I have specialised in couples, trained to an advanced level in Imago Couples Therapy, and over 95% of my practice is with couples.
I'll teach you practical skills you can start using at home immediately.
Many couples tell me they struggle to communicate. Conflicts spiral out of control or remain unresolved, leaving them feeling criticised, blamed or misunderstood. Difficult topics are frequently avoided due to the fear of starting an argument.
I'll teach you how to communicate so you feel heard and understood. You'll learn to discuss your issues calmly and constructively, helping you feel happy and connected again.
Discover the Imago method
Taking couples from the brink of divorce to peaceful, reconnected and unafraid of conflict
Imago is a radically different way of doing couples therapy because it teaches you how to talk to each other in a way that you actually listen.
IT'S FOR COUPLES STRUGGLING WITH:Couples that work with me get the best results because:
We face the real issues head-on.
I'll help you name what's not working and stop dancing around it. You can't heal what you won't face.
You'll learn how to talk so your partner can actually hear you.
Not lectures, not explosions — clear, respectful communication that lands.
I hold you accountable.
Each session I'll coach you on new skills, and at home you'll practise them. Without the follow-through, nothing changes.
We work toward safety and positivity.
You'll learn to shift out of defensiveness and criticism into empathy, warmth, and repair.
This work is not always easy. But if you show up, do the homework, and practise at home, you'll build the kind of relationship that can weather storms and feel alive again.
'How do we know this is going to work for us?'
Sadly, many couples who go to conventional therapy drop out, saying "Couples therapy didn't work for us." These couples either struggle on unhappily for years, have an affair, or file for divorce. However, the actual problem was a lack of clarity, direction and safety.
What actually happened:
The method didn't create enough safety.
In Imago therapy the main tool is the Imago 'dialogue' — a safe way to talk where you learn to take turns, not interrupt, and practise active listening. Once you stop experiencing your partner as a threat, you can start to let in their perspective. This fosters understanding and connection.
You didn't come consistently.
Couples therapy doesn't work if you don't come. As the work progresses, there can be challenging moments and it's easy to avoid them by cancelling. Missing sessions leads to stalled progress.
Clear goals weren't set.
Some couples expect their therapist to be a referee. Therapy isn't a courtroom. It's about understanding that both of you have valid perspectives. With the right tools and clear goals, you can get the safety and connection back.
How you'll know we've reached our goal:
You'll both be feeling real warmth and affection again
You'll both know how to communicate so you properly hear each other
You'll both know how to approach and resolve conflict, and there is always a repair
You'll both feel relaxed enough to listen to understand, not to retort
You'll both feel like you've got each other's backs
You'll both appreciate that your partner's inner world is completely different from yours
You'll both take responsibility for what you personally bring to the relationship
You'll both be taking care of the Space Between You every day
