Counselling, Therapy & Wellness

 I support couples and individuals navigating relationship difficulties, separation, and life after a breakup.
Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in recurring patterns, or uncertain about the future of your relationship, I offer a calm, supportive space to slow things down and gain clarity.

Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure which way to turn. My role is not to rush decisions or take sides, but to help you understand what has happened, what’s happening now, and what feels possible moving forward.

Relationships are at the heart of my work because they are often where the deepest emotional pain — and the greatest opportunity for growth — exists.

Long-term relationships are shaped over time by communication patterns, family dynamics, unmet needs, and life pressures. When difficulties arise, it can be hard to know whether a relationship can be repaired, or whether separation is the healthier path.

With over 25 years in a long-term relationship myself and experience of blended family life, I bring a realistic understanding of how relationships function beyond theory alone. This lived experience, alongside professional training, allows me to work in a way that is grounded, balanced, and emotionally attuned.

My approach is relational, structured, and compassionate. I aim to create a space where both people feel heard and understood, particularly during periods of conflict, uncertainty, or emotional distance.

In our work together, we may focus on:

• Understanding repeating relationship patterns
• Improving communication and emotional safety
• Exploring attachment needs and unmet expectations
• Gaining clarity around staying together, rebuilding, or separating respectfully

I also support individuals recovering from relationship breakdown, loss, or significant life transitions, helping them rebuild confidence, identity, and emotional stability.

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working within their ethical framework. I engage in ongoing professional development with a particular focus on couples therapy, separation and discernment counselling, and relationship recovery.

I offer counselling sessions in Barnstaple, North Devon, and online.

If you’re feeling uncertain, emotionally stretched, or at a turning point in your relationship, you’re welcome to get in touch. An initial consultation provides space to talk through what’s bringing you here and to explore whether working together feels right.

You don’t need to have everything worked out — just a willingness to begin the conversation.
