PACT
PACT-trained relationship therapy for couples and individuals seeking a secure and fulfilling relationship.
Relationships can be the most meaningful — and the most challenging — part of our lives. Whether you’re in a couple, navigating dating, or wondering why you keep repeating patterns in relationships, you’re not alone — and change is possible.
Many couples I work with say: “We love each other — but we keep hurting each other.” Individuals often tell me: “Why do I keep choosing unavailable partners?” These experiences are common, and they are not your fault.
I specialise in helping couples and individuals:
- Understand patterns of conflict, distance, or mistrust
- Rebuild trust after betrayal or infidelity
- Navigate the ups and downs of dating and modern relationships
- Develop secure, thriving partnerships using attachment theory, arousal regulation, and neuroscience
Through PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) Level 2, my approach is practical, experiential, and compassionate. Together we slow down moments of tension, make sense of reactive patterns, and create connection, safety, and understanding — so relationships feel easier, calmer, and more secure.
If you’re ready to feel understood, supported, and empowered in your relationship or dating journey, you’re in the right place.
Who I Work With
- Couples who want to repair trust and improve communication
- Partners navigating life transitions, parenting stress, or intimacy difficulties
- Gay and queer couples
- Couples in open relationships
- Individuals in relationships who want support understanding their role in recurring patterns
- Singles who feel confused or discouraged about dating and want to understand attachment patterns influencing partner choice
(While I am open to working with consensual non-monogamous relationships, my primary expertise is with couples and two-partner dynamics.)
