It's quiet at my place and I miss heading off to my Therapy Room and seeing my clients face to face. Like thousands of other counsellors I am now working from home.

Far from feeling a distance through the screen, I'm finding clients are more open to sharing their experience and vulnerabilities.

I've had calls from bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and cars. Clients seem to feel safe in the place of their choosing and the intensity of sharing has been touching.

It's been hard for all ages and relationships are tensing as space is restricted in these times of lockdown.

I've been warmed through by the openness and creative determination our communities have shown to reach out and make connections and clients too are engaging in this movement to share our humanity.

If you are a couple or an individual and you'd like to talk to me about online therapy then please call me....

We may be stuck at home, but technology can connect us and being isolated need not be isolating.

Mixed messages is when you ask me to help you and then then re-do what I do to help you. This is frustrating and confusing. I can't do right for doing wrong so why should I try to help if I can't seem to get it right for you.

I always feel I’m a disappointment to her; that I’m a failure and that if I don’t fix things that she’ll leave me. When I do try and listen and offer solutions she just looks confused and frustrated and accuses me of not listening to her!I feel so lonely with him; slowly dying in this relati...

Therapy worked for me and has worked for others. It's a unique experience between two people that is always intriguing because it's the making known what is unknown. Knowing yourself is exciting and powerful and opens up potential and possibilities.

You’ve changed!

Couples are often ragefully angry and upset and see the root of their difficulties with their partner. Underneath their complaints about each other, the common and universal dilemma they present is “How can I be the person I know I am and be with you the person that I fell in love with?"

Me and my partner seem to argue over trivial things. Our relationship is often hostile and draining. It's very upsetting and it doesn't seem to resolve anything. Relationship Counselling can help you communicate effectively.
