I am a couples counsellor who offers short-term retreats for couples from all walks of life. I have worked with couples at various stages of their relationships for over ten years and am very interested in helping partners improve their communication and foster greater intimacy and understanding. Having received my Masters degree in Counselling Psychology in the United States, I worked as an individual and relationship therapist in private practice in my native Canada before moving to the United Kingdom in 2008.
I help couples to better understand where and why their communication breaks down and how to get them to have the conversation that they are meant to have. Research has shown that this does not have to be a long, drawn out process. Most couples can benefit from 2-4 days of dedicated time with a trained facilitator to learn more about their partner, as well as skills to help keep the conversation on track.
In addition to my relationship work, I work as a Cognitive-Behavioural Therapist in private practice in the City of London, working with individuals with depression anxiety and low self-worth, and am currently working towards a Ph.D. in psychology. My research focuses on the various reason of why we are so hard on ourselves. Lastly, I also facilitate and conduct training workshops for aspiring couples therapists.
I am based in Suffolk, Essex and London, England, where I live with my wife and children.
