Couples and Marriage Counselling in North London

Have you stopped talking to one another?
Is the intimacy that brought you together, emotional and physical, a distant memory?
Are arguing, or silence, your usual modes of communication? Or ways of responding to conflict?
Are you worried about how your relationship is affecting your children, or about the model you are giving them for behaving in a relationship or couple?
Have you seen relationship or couples counsellors who were unable to contain your dynamics? Or couples therapists who have "taken sides"?
Are you time-poor but want the best in professional couples counselling?

I offer a unique form of couples and marriage therapy which involves intense, hour long sessions in North London (near Muswell Hill and Highgate). I'm not a couples counsellor who just lets you spend a lot of time going over what are probably familiar arguments. I see it as my job to help you move on, and I actively intervene and facilitate so that you are enabled to confront the difficulties that have, up to now, seemed impossible to resolve. One couple, after their first session, said that they'd got more from it than two years of Relate couples counselling. After their session, many couples report they were hopeful for the first time in ages.

I'm an highly experienced marriage counsellor and couples therapist, and have been seeing couples and working with groups for over forty years. I have chosen to do couples counselling because I've found it is the quickest and most effective way of helping people to change their marriages and relationships for the better. Having both parties in the consulting room together enables therapeutic insights to have remarkable power to heal and to alter the dynamics of your relationship.

My couples and marriage counselling practice is located in Muswell Hill. People come to me from all over North London -- Highgate, Crouch End, Hampstead, Kilburn -- and the surrounding areas, Enfield, Essex, and Hertfordshire. Currently I'm working with couples through online couples therapy and couples counselling .
