Founder and Director of Relate
This work is deeply personal to me. When my marriage was struggling, we saw a therapist who was skilled as an individual therapist, but not trained in couples therapy. My ex-partner and I sat opposite him, arguing and getting nowhere; in the end, we decided we could fight at home for free. As hope was fading, I brought up the idea of counselling again. She replied that we had already tried that and it hadn’t worked. We divorced.
Although I was trained as a therapist, I still didn’t know what was missing. Searching for answers, I found specialist approaches to couples counselling, each offering an important piece of the puzzle. Over the next 15 years, I travelled the world to train, then founded Relate to share what I had learned and continue my mission of giving couples the right support when they need it most.
At the heart of Relate is the belief that couples and children deserve the very best training and support from relationship clinicians who can help navigate the challenges of relationships.
Relate is a team of relationship therapists united by that same passion.
