I help successful people create great relationships

I’m not your traditional couple therapist
I’ve been divorced and remarried and created a blended family that transformed my life for the better. I’ve had my share of relationship rupture and repair, which has shaped who I am and my ability to help you through your life-changing relationship experiences.
After 20 years as an executive and entrepreneur in the film and television industry, I walked away from that world to follow my heart. I returned to full-time study, eventually completing post-graduate qualifications in systemic family therapy, then going on to train in six different models of couples therapy. Fifteen years ago I set up my private practice as a specialist couple and family therapist in Harley Street, London.
I have developed a reputation for working with couples that other therapists have been unable to help. Many of the couples I meet have made several unsatisfactory attempts at therapy in the past and I’m often the last stop before the lawyers. The reason for this success is that I get to the heart of the matter in the first session. If the couples are committed and motivated and will allow me to confront their defences, I can help them to transform their relationship.
I developed the Couple Intensive in collaboration with the Couples Institute of California. Since adopting this approach, I have been convinced that this is the best solution to break the deadlock and help to kick-start a stalled relationship. It’s a very profound and empowering experience. Let me show you how.

What you will need
There are seven core elements to achieving a great relationship. The first two are a relationship roadmap and a mentor to help you navigate your relationship journey….I will provide you with both.
What I require of you:
- Vision – To create a vision of the relationship you want to create together
- Awareness – To become aware of how you aspire to be in the relationship
- Clarity – To become clear about what is standing in the way of your aspirations
- Courage – a willingness to do things differently, even things that may scare you
- Confidence – To boldly step into the unknown and embrace real change
Is this right for me?
If you meet the following criteria, we will be a good fit:
- A high-achieving couple, stuck in self-defeating behaviour
- Determined not to tolerate an unsatisfying relationship any longer
- Prepared to make a serious commitment to lasting change
- Committed to reducing arguments and anger
- Willing to confront self-defeating behaviour and learn how to stop it
- Open to clarity around your contribution to the challenges
- Commitment to invest in your relationship and the process of change
- Value challenging questions, direct feedback, and a sense of humour
- No ongoing affairs, physical/emotional abuse or uncontrolled addictions.
