Welcome to a wonderful new way of experiencing
Relationship Therapy
By incorporating the latest research in neuroscience, with an established and well validated relationship therapy, an exciting new relationship therapy, Tapping into Relationships – eft², has been created.
Offering Comprehensive
Relationship Support
Relationships can become particularly complex when challenges like Adult ADHD, AuDHD, and Attachment Trauma are present. These factors often intertwine, creating a unique mix of emotional and relational difficulties that require specialised, compassionate care. Through my Tapping into Relationships – eft² approach, I provide tailored, inclusive support that respects the unique dynamics of each partnership. Grounded in neuroscience and informed by somatic therapy, my process is designed to help couples foster deeper understanding, emotional healing, and meaningful connection.
Providing Compassionate Expertise for Emotionally Complex Relationships:
The challenges I help clients navigate often include a complex mix of the following:
- Communication Breakdowns: Express your feelings and needs clearly while fostering empathy and understanding through active listening.
- Conflict Resolution: Transform toxic patterns into compassionate and confident problem-solving approaches.
- Trauma and Emotional Disconnection: Heal past wounds and nurture a safe, fulfilling, and emotionally connected relationship.
- ADHD/AuDHD Gain support to navigate the unique relational dynamics that come with neurodiversity, fostering understanding and connection.
- Problematic Relationship Dynamics: Overcome manipulative and passive aggressive behaviours such as coercive control, abusive anger, gaslighting, stonewalling, co-dependency and enmeshment by addressing the trauma that drives them.
- Childhood Trauma: Heal from childhood neglect and abuse to ensure past experiences no longer impact your current relationships.
- Attachment Abuse: Heal from emotional, psychological, financial, and sexual abuse, including coercive control and domestic violence, to feel safe and valued.
- Complex Personalities: Navigate relationships with clarity and safety when dealing with disorganised personalities, including BPD and NPD.
- Rebuilding Trust: Restore accountability, honesty, and safety after betrayal or broken promises.
- Intimacy and Connection: Rediscover closeness, address mismatched desires, and heal from trauma to strengthen your bond.
- Parenting and Family Dynamics: Collaborate effectively to navigate challenges, blended families, and co-parenting.
- Life Transitions: Adapt to changes like parenthood, career shifts, or grief with resilience and unity.
- Addiction Recovery: Support each other through recovery while rebuilding emotional connection and trust.
- Cultural or Faith-Based Differences of Extended Families: Foster mutual understanding and resolve conflicts respectfully.
- External Stressors: Strengthen your bond to face life’s challenges together with confidence and unity.
Using my somatic, neuroscientifically-informed relationship protocol—Tapping into Relationships – eft²—I offer a warm yet professional approach that is deeply attuned to your unique challenges. I’ll support you in fostering deeper understanding, healing, and growth so that you, and your relationship, can thrive.
Offering Flexible Counselling and Coaching Options:
Your journey is as unique as you are, and the support I offer reflects that. My flexible counselling and coaching options are designed to meet you where you are, providing a safe and accessible space for growth and healing:

I cannot speak highly enough of Tess- her warmth, care and compassion, her intelligence and knowledge that she brings to every session are truly incredible. She draws on a wealth of experience and deep understanding. Tess has guided me through some very challenging times in my life, always with kindness, a non-judgemental attitude, curiosity and showing me how to act with compassion and love towards myself. I am very grateful for the journey that we have been on together and the deep work that we continue to do collaboratively. It has made such a difference to my life, to my interpersonal relationships and my relationship with myself. Her great sense of humour and reflections are a wonderful antidote. Thank you so much Tess!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I began seeing Tess for 'preventative' therapy when we started dating 2 years ago, and she has helped us to build an incredible foundation for our life together. Tess is compassionate and insightful, and we come out of every session with new insights that help us understand each other, and ourselves, better - even when we think we've analysed the problem from every angle, Tess surprises us with an insight that unlocks repair and healing. Tess has also taught us the power of tapping for self-regulation, and this has helped us de-escalate many situations before they escalate. Thank you so much Tess for being with us through our issues big and small!

A Wonderful experience- Looking forward to more Sessions I’ve had two sessions with Tess so far, and I’m genuinely excited to see where this journey takes me. My daughter recommended Tess after experiencing many sessions with her, and I can see why she speaks so highly of her. Tess has a reputation for being incredibly kind and effective, and she truly lives up to it. From the very beginning, Tess made me feel comfortable and heard. She has a unique ability to connect and get to the heart of what’s important to me, which felt almost intuitive. It’s like she has a sixth sense for understanding how I feel and what I need. Her approach is a beautiful balance of compassion, expertise and experience kind, she’s non-judgmental in a way that allows me to be completely open without fear of criticism. Her knowledge is vast, and it’s clear that she has a wealth of experience to draw from. But what stands out most is her ability to tailor her techniques to fit my personal situation. I feel like I’m in very capable hands, and I can already sense the positive shifts after just a couple of sessions. I’m looking forward to continuing my work with Tess and seeing where the process leads. If you’re looking for someone who combines warmth with expertise, Tess is definitely someone you should consider.

Through our work together, I’ve experienced profound growth in both my interpersonal relationships and the relationship I have with myself. My emotional regulation and communication with loved ones have improved significantly, and I feel more grounded and connected than ever. Tess has a remarkable ability to guide me to the deeper issues beneath the surface while ensuring I never feel too raw or exposed in the process. Her approach is both gentle and effective, creating a space that feels safe, compassionate, and transformative. I’ve recommended Tess to friends and family who have also experienced meaningful healing under her guidance. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I feel like I owe Tess so much; not only has she helped me see and deal with the toxicity that had surrounded me for so long, she has also helped me understand and embrace my true self. Tess’s gentle guidance, wisdom and empathy are a gift for anyone that needs help navigating relationships that don’t feel right. I can’t express how much Tess has helped me and can only recommend that you consider her for your counselling!
