Antonia Orchard
Over the past 15 years, I have gained valuable experience in supporting individuals, couples and families through both small and significant life crises.
As a systemic therapist, I help people understand, process and integrate challenging experiences - whether they arise from difficult life events, recurring relationship patterns or formative experiences from childhood and beyond.
​
A key focus of my work is to help people develop a stable connection to themselves and their needs while fostering sustainable change. I create a safe space where each individual’s story is viewed with respect and without judgment.
​
In addition to my therapeutic work, I am also a lecturer and offer seminars on topics such as communication, attachment and emotional development.
​
Personally, I am married and have two children which gives me valuable insights into family life.
Experience
I refer on many years of experience in individual, family and group contexts.
