Relationship Counselling for Couples and Individuals in Leeds

In person and online

I’m sorry- I’m full at the moment.

I am a Relate-trained Relationship Therapist and Counsellor with over 38 years' experience working in the caring professions - as a Teacher, Art Therapist, and Relationship Therapist, both at Relate and in private practice.

I hold an MA in Relationship Therapy with Distinction from the Relate Institute, (University of Hull).

I am genuinely passionate about helping couples and individuals move out of painful and destructive patterns, and towards the relationships they truly want - with their partners, their families, and themselves.

I work inclusively, welcoming clients of all ages, backgrounds, cultures, identities, and abilities. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.
