Guys…I know well that sometimes it may feel hard or impossible to narrow down what exactly you may be struggling with, or when your gut tells you things aren’t quite right. Sometimes we may have a fair idea, but what’s the next step? Often our thoughts and feelings take a back seat, being dismissed or ignored. However, often these unmet thoughts and feelings can manifest into forms of depression, lack of self-worth, grief, addiction or anger. I would say for a lot of us, talking with friends or family seems impossible. Sound familiar?

When struggling with the symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief & trauma & other issues, it is hard to gain perspective to understand your experience, your emotions, your problems and to see a way forward. These things can leave you feeling frustrated, exhausted and alone. It pays to speak with a mental health professional about your situation. I can provide the opportunity for you to share and make sense of your story in a safe environment where you will be heard & understood. After sharing your story we can work on specific goals and strategies to counter problems and promote more effective approaches.

Everyone seems to be so busy these days, and if we're not careful life will go by without us realising. I'm passionate about helping clients to identify what is important to them so they can live meaningful lives that are in-line with their values and limit regrets. I'm particularly passionate about helping people who are ready to take the steps necessary to make some changes. This might involve addressing some health issues, processing some emotional pain from the past that is "hanging around" or finding a new direction in life such as a new career path. So if you're ready, contact me and let's make 2023 a great year for you!

People seeking psychological services know that it is a deeply personal experience to connect with another human being trying to improve their life experience. I have always believed in personal service, the one-on-one conversation where the person feels heard and validated, instead of big business where clients feel like a number. I aim to be respectful and connected and ensure a high standard of care for all my clients.

We all experience struggle at times, it's something we have in common with each other, but we can also feel very alone in our pain and life challenges. Feeling heard, being seen and genuinely understood by a compassionate person is such a healing and valuable experience. My own journey to find helpful therapy and a relatable therapist has been difficult and frustrating at times. When I was younger I found myself turning to the company and companionship of animals to find a safe and comfortable place for healing. Today, my work as a psychotherapist means a lot to me, working together with people in support of health and wellbeing.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
