I work with Sue Johnson's EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Esther Perel’s approach using compassion and feeling to tap into the dynamics and patterns of the relationship. Couples may come to improve communication, to approach problems differently, and to work towards a deeper sense of connection in their relationship. Areas of particular interest are:
Communication skills
Conflict and relationship difficulties
Coping with family member's well-being
