FAMILY AND COUPLES THERAPY

Strengthening family bonds

CONTACT ME

My approach to family and couples therapy is playful, body based and nurturing. I appreciate the fullness of any moment and see therapy as a place for laughter as much as tears, silence and chatter, movement and stillness. I work gradually with families to sensitively address their concerns and work to bring a sense of levity to heavy problems. If you would like to get in touch with me to discuss any of my services please leave your contact details below.

Thanks for submitting!
