Life is precious. You want to seize it, shape it, create your dream.

Grab it with both hands and squeeze it for all it’s worth.
You want a life where your heart expands and your soul soars—full of joy, freedom, and real momentum.

You’re not reckless—you just refuse to settle.
People call you brave or crazy, but you know what’s really crazy?
Staying stuck. Feeling anxious, uninspired, or frozen in fear.

You just need the right kind of support to help you break through and fly.

A Warm Welcome!

I support you to heal trauma, anxiety, and self-sabotage—so that you have the power to create the joyful, free yet safe life of your dreams.

8 Radical Tips to Save your Relationship or Help you Find (& Keep) your Soul Mate.

12 Oct 2020

Relationship questions are never black and white. Any security derived from judging the other quickly is an illusion to avoid normal feelings of insecurity when getting closer to someone. And that insecurity will stick with you into the next and next relationship like a fly to a piece of shit.

7 Reasons why we Haven’t found Real-Ass, Committed, Healthy Love.

16 Sept 2019

But when a date or a relationship goes wrong, we don’t dare ask for feedback. If our date tells us they don’t want to continue seeing us, our inner critic attacks us like a wrinkly-headed vulture about to gobble up a tasty dead lion. “It’s because you’re too fat, too ugly, too unlovable, because they spotted that there is something truly wrong with you”. How is it that we rarely challenge this vulture by finding out why they don’t want to see us anymore? More than likely it is because of them rather than us. A recent client of mine, after taking the risk of asking, found out it was because their date was looking for hook-ups and polyamory whilst they were looking for monogamy.

Is The Cost of Therapy Worth It or Just a Rip Off?

26 Jun 2019

When weighing up the cost of therapy, you may find your mouse hesitating to click on the ‘get in touch’ button. You start doing the mental maths of how much it’s going to add up to per month. Then you start thinking about the things you’ll have to go without. Or, you think about all the things you could buy with the money instead. You focus on the monetary cost of therapy and try to decide if it is good value. When making your decision, here are some additional points to consider:

How to Save the Relationship - 3 Critical Changes to Make Before It's Too Late

12 Sept 2017

The start of the relationship feels like a meeting of kindred spirits. The other person ticks many of the boxes that had been left unticked in the past. They “get” us. They share our values. They care. They understand our quirks. They even have similar quirks. We feel like best friends and lovers. They are interested in us as and not just as a sex object. But the sex is intense. A dream gets ignited. A hope of a happy future with this person is born.

Yes, Our Parents Probably Screwed us Up a Little—Don’t Skip the Therapy.

~

Some clients arrive for their first therapy session skeptical, worried, or downright reluctant to talk about their childhoods.

I assure them I have no interest in getting them to do something they don’t want. Nevertheless, if they are willing, then I am curious—exploring their childhoods helps me to understand their concerns more fully.

From Stress-y to Sexy – The #1 Way to Bed Anxiety. Hint: It’s in your rhythm baby!

Our breathing changes as our thoughts, feelings and behaviour change. As we become worried, excited, elated, depressed or aroused, our breathing becomes shorter, jerkier, longer, deeper, shallower or smoother. What if the reverse were true? What if our breathing could change our thoughts, feelings and behaviour? What if breathing the right way meant more personal excellence and less anxiety and anger?

Should I Stay or Should I Go? The 4 Questions You Need to Ask If You Want to Break Up with No Regrets

31 Jul 2017

Recently a few of my clients have been contemplating whether it’s time to end therapy. Recently other of my clients have been contemplating whether the to end their romantic relationships. Should I stay or should I go and how do I know?

The job of the therapist is to facilitate awareness of blind spots so that they can make a more informed decision Thus, as I said to both sets of clients, I can help you to explore your situation and the reasons for wanting to stay and go. Hopefully this will give you a greater perspective and help you to understand more fully the dynamics at play. This is true both for a therapeutic or a romantic relationship.

What if I’m going crazy? What if it's contaminated? What if I lose her? - How to Be Free of OCD

28 Jun 2017

OCD refers to obsessive compulsive thoughts and behaviour. These can include obsessive thoughts around four types of vulnerabilities which are: 1) health and illness, 2) danger, 3) poverty and 4) losing control. Specifically, we can think obsessively about sex, death, relationships and contamination, amongst others. We may behave compulsively by cleaning, checking and double-checking, repeatedly asking our partner the same question, for example. We also tend to avoid certain situations which makes us feel particularly anxious. On a physical level, it is common to experience a tightness in our chests, shallow breathing, sweaty palms, palpitations, dizziness or brain fog when in the grips of obsessive and compulsive thoughts and behaviours. We may also generally feel low in mood, lonely, empty and tired because of our condition.

Why Your Biggest Bust-Up Can Lead to Your Biggest Break-through – Insights from a Couple’s Therapist

5 Jun 2017

When we get to this bit, our wounds risk being exposed. We feel vulnerable and scared. We have after all been protecting and soothing our relationship wounds for a life-time. And let’s face it we all have some. The relationship dynamic and couples counselling can nudge us to take another look at how we protect and shield ourselves and whether that helps or hinders our relationship. We may learn some hard truths along the way. That can feel really scary. So scary that we take a ‘flight into health’ and abort the sessions early on in order to maintain the status quo. We settle for superficial gains. These rarely last. What we resist persists. The alternative feels like too much work and surely a relationship shouldn’t be that hard?
