I’m a relationships and marriage counsellor with 20 years experience working in leadership, counselling, and education. I married Caitlin in 2010 and together we have 3 children.

Relationships in general and especially romantic relationships are not easy however I believe within us all is an ability to grow, learn new ways of interacting and heal from the past. I’ve had couples walk into my office saying they feel like they’re in Groundhog Day, going around and around in circles, who then leave with a greater level of compassion and understanding for their partner. This is not easy work and it’s for this reason I say there’s no shame in seeking out some extra support. You will be amazed the impact having a neutral third party can have to help you and your partner resolve your differences.

Most conflicts are birthed out of misunderstandings and therefore my approach working with couples is to listen and remain curious. I will offer both yourself and your partner an opportunity to feel safe to share your perspective and to also listen to your partner’s point of view. In addition to my Counselling training, I have trained in both The Gottman Method of Relationship Therapy and the Myers Briggs personality system and these form the basis of my proven approach working with couples. Personality types is something we hear a lot about these days but usually in a business or work context. My passion is to bring the power of understanding personality into our everyday relationships, especially our intimate ones. The longer I do the work, the more convinced I am that understanding our own and our partner’s personality type is the most powerful tool to resolving misunderstanding and conflicts and it works wonders to re-kindle and deepen the relationship’s love and passion.
