About United Front Therapy
We don’t just focus on behaviour, We work with what’s happening underneath it.
Conflict, shutdown, and distress are often shaped by deeper emotional patterns, attachment needs, and past experiences, especially under stress.
Drawing on emotionally focused therapy, parts-based work, somatic awareness, trauma-informed practice, and family systems understanding, we help you slow things down, make sense of reactions, and respond differently.
This is where real and lasting change happens, not just temporary fixes.
About Dee
Dee is an accredited mental health social worker with a Master’s in Clinical Family Therapy and more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. Her work focuses on helping people navigate relationship challenges, emotional distress, and life transitions with greater clarity and stability.
Her clinical approach is grounded in trauma-informed care and draws on evidence-based frameworks including emotionally focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, and family systems theory. This allows for a deeper understanding of how emotional patterns, past experiences, and relational dynamics shape behaviour over time.
Dee has extensive experience working with couples experiencing conflict, parents concerned about their children or teenagers, and families managing ongoing tension or disconnection. She supports clients to better understand their responses, communicate more effectively, and move towards more secure and connected relationships.
Alongside her professional training, Dee brings a strong understanding of family life and long-term relationships, which informs a practical, balanced approach to therapy.
Her work is focused on creating a respectful and steady environment where clients can explore challenges, build insight, and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
Our Approach
Clients often come feeling overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or disconnected in their relationships, and may find themselves relying on coping strategies such as avoidance, shutdown, or addictive behaviours that no longer serve them.
These patterns are rarely random, they are often shaped by earlier developmental and relational experiences.
In therapy, we work to gently understand what’s driving these responses, and support the development of more adaptive ways of coping, relating, and responding , creating meaningful and lasting change.
