I’ve been a couple, marriage and family counsellor and therapist for over thirty years, specializing in helping couples and individuals with a wide range of difficulties, especially with relationships and conflict management skills.

​

For the past 13 years, I’ve been using primarily EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) when working with couples - a well-researched approach to couples therapy, with high rates of success. This is a very powerful experiential model in which couples gain insight into how they’re interacting and become naturally motivated to make changes.

 

However, I now use a model I've developed over time called IRT, Integrated Relationship Therapy. This is a very clear stepwise process that is easy to understand and put into practice.

​

Normally, the first sessions are required to help couples de-escalate the tensions and arguments that keep them stuck. However, you'll get much more than this. You will come to understand why you - and many others - get caught in patterns they never dreamed would be possible!
