Integrative relationship therapy for individuals and couples
Practical relationship support for you
Hi, I’m Robin…I am a relationship therapist who specialises in no-nonsense, attachment-based psychotherapy and effective relating, communication and intimacy dynamics.
My passion is to help you navigate relationship issues and develop deeper connection and intimacy in your life.
I can help you:

- Stop rehashing the same arguments and prevent conflicts escalating out of control using effective, evidence-based communication, listening and rapport skills
- Heal and repair the wounds of infidelity, betrayal and broken trust
- Find deeper intimacy by learning how to relate from vulnerable parts of yourself
- Stop past traumas hijacking your life and relationship
- Manage anxiety and emotional overwhelm
- Develop tools for authentic and effective communication
- Decide whether to stay or leave your relationship
- Safely express your intimacy needs or meet your partner’s needs
- Recreate the sparks of romance, excitement, intimacy and sexual chemistry
- Utilise the power of ritual to deepen relationships
- Co-create a shared purpose and meaning in your relationship
- Negotiate the demands of family, children, in-laws, friends and work
- Take your current relationship to the next level!
Healthy, loving relationships are vital for our survival. Without them we do not reach our full potential in life. Research shows that stress and unhappiness in intimate relationships is the number one contributor to chronic disease and reduced lifespans. We need healthy relationships for wellbeing, growth and happiness.
Humans are relational animals. Nobody thrives alone on an island.
Yet, healthy, sustainable relationships are also hard work. We are not born with a manual on how to relate. Instead, we rely on the models that we grew up with or saw in the movies. These models rarely suit our needs. If you feel sometimes like you are making it up as you go along or fumbling your way in the dark, you are not alone.
Relating is both a science and an art. I can help you relate, reconnect, rebuild trust and intimacy, and create the amazing relationship you dream of having. I can work with you to help you understand how you are ‘wired for relationships’, to identify your patterns and triggers, to understand your partner and their own relational make up, as well as how to bring back the feelings of romance and juiciness you once enjoyed.
“I always valued your empathy, that patience and the fact that you remained totally present
with me. I never felt judged or that what I was feeling was wrong. That approach allowed me
to give full and open airing to whatever was bothering me and come to my own conclusions.
That’s far more powerful and longer lasting than being “fixed”.”

About Robin
I am a psychotherapist with many years of experience working in the health and personal development fields. After working with thousands of people, I understand how integral deep, authentic relationships and connections are to our lives. We need connection for personal well being, growth and healing.
I’ve also been on the other side of this situation. In my early years I pushed everyone away. I truly believed I could do it all on my own. The result was isolation, loneliness and depression. I realised that I needed others and over many years I learned how to feel safe enough in myself to open up and let others in. In doing so, my life has transformed. Experience and many years of study have shown me that when I prioritise individuality it rarely works, but when I choose relationships and connection the results are always beyond what I can imagine.
Through the power of relationships we create wholeness and happiness in ourselves, experience deep and rewarding levels of intimacy, find community and feel at home in the natural world around us. To get a sense of my approach you might like to explore my How I Work page.
There are so many things that get in the way of connection. We live in a disconnected world, that leaves us starved of touch, intimacy, depth, and other people. There are many reasons why this has happened, but this disconnection has caused significant consequences in our modern day lives. Without a doubt, dis-connection is the most significant disease of the twenty-first century but it doesn’t have to be this way. I want to work with you to help you reconnect. Read more…
