Services

Each service starts from what you bring. Here is what sessions look like, and what they are not.

  • A sofa draped in a furry throw with red and green cushions by a curtained window

    Family expectations

    For adults caught between the family’s expectations and their own. Sessions look at the role you were given, what you owe and what you want. This is not about cutting anyone off, and it is not about giving in to everything.

    • The role you were given

    • Saying no with respect

    • Boundaries that keep the relationship

    How fees work
  • A white boucle armchair in a sunlit empty room with tall windows

    Between two cultures

    For people who live in one set of customs at home and another outside it. We talk about language, belonging and the parts of yourself you keep apart. I will ask what things mean to you, and I will not assume.

    • Language and accent

    • Your home self and your work self

    • What you want to keep and pass on

    How fees work
  • A bright living room with a grey sofa, a black floor lamp and abstract paintings

    Grief, distance and caregiving

    For losing someone, missing someone far away, or caring for a parent. Sessions make room for grief that has had no place to go, and for the daily weight of caregiving. Your pace sets the pace.

    • Mourning a parent or relative

    • Family far away

    • Caring for aging parents

    How fees work
  • A dark green sofa and cushion by sheer curtains in golden light

    Couples and in-laws

    For partners whose two families both have a say. Sessions with your partner look at how each of you learned to handle money, duty and conflict. I do not take sides.

    • Money and family duty

    • In-laws and holidays

    • Two ways of arguing

    How fees work
  • A cream wingback armchair, a leather sofa and potted plants by a window with wooden blinds

    Parenting across generations

    For parents who want to raise their children on purpose, the same way or differently. Sessions are with the parents. I work with adults, and I do not see children.

    • What you want to keep

    • What you want to change

    • Talking with your own parents

    How fees work
  • Black-and-white photo of two wingback armchairs by a window with hanging plants

    Work, money and being the provider

    For adults who carry the household’s money or feel their worth is measured by what they send home. Sessions look at work, money and duty, and how you decide what is yours to give. This is not financial advice.

    • Money sent home

    • Work and family duty

    • Deciding what to give
