Hi, I'm Georgia. I'm an integrative psychotherapist so my approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, and is a collaborative venture - exploring why you may be experiencing the challenges that you are, what is meaningful for you and supporting you to move toward your goals. My approach to therapy is informed by interpersonal neurobiology and developmental psychology, as well as mentalisation-based, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and existential therapies. I believe in you being able to live your potential and a fulfilling life when you experience the right conditions.

Hi, I'm Jules. I work with people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck in negative interpersonal patterns. I believe that everyone deserves and has capacity to live a rich and meaningful life, and that therapy can be a powerful tool in enabling this. As your therapist, I aim to facilitate a collaborative and non-judgemental space where you feel safe enough to explore your emotions, experiences and relationships, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and find new ways to better meet your needs and connect with others.

Therapy can feel like a big step. Maybe part of you is hopeful, part of you is skeptical, and another part is already trying to cancel the appointment. I’m trained in IFS (Level 1, 2 & 3), EMDR and DBT. IFS sees every person as made up of many parts, each one trying (sometimes in unhelpful ways) to keep us safe and seen. Whether it’s the overachiever, the inner critic, the people pleaser, or the stay in bed binge scroller. I’ve met them all, in clients and in myself. Together, we’ll help your Self step into the lead with curiosity, compassion and a laugh or two along the way Sessions Telehealth and In person

I work with complex trauma, attachment wounding, emotional dysregulation, and the impacts of systemic and relational harm. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in social work values. I draw primarily from Schema Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, DNMS, and nervous system-informed frameworks.

When I think about the type of mental health care I would like to receive personally, I think about how I would want to be understood, heard and to ultimately not feel alone. Thus, it is equally important to me, as your Psychologist to be those things and so much more. My aim is to listen empathetically, work as a team and set you up with the skill set to become your own therapist. I want to see all my clients flourish and feel a reduction in their symptoms. I will always endeavour to do my best to provide you with the care that I would want for myself.

Life transitions can stir uncertainty, grief, and confusion—but they also hold the potential for growth, insight, and deep self-understanding. I work with adults from all walks of life who want to make sense of their experiences, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life. While I have significant experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, I welcome anyone seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to explore personal challenges, trauma, or patterns that may be holding them back.

People come to see me for a lot of different reasons. For instance, you might be experiencing depression or anxiety, having relationship difficulties (whether you're single or partnered), going through a major life transition or loss, or wondering about the overall direction of your life. You may have a sense that there's something more to life -- that you could be living a richer life, and thriving more than you are right now. I'm here to support you and examine what's working and not, whether you're seeking a major transformation, or simply a deeper understanding of your life patterns.

I am driven to support people who feel stuck, uncertain or trapped in their lives, and want to make a change. I am here to help those who are also hesitant about counselling or find traditional counselling settings to be stiffling, fake, tedious or overwhelming by offering walk and talk therapy outdoors combined with an honest and friendly, down-to-earth manner. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in authenticity — with a strong emphasis on meeting clients where they are at, and guiding them alongside at their own pace, both literally and figuratively.

Katrine’s ideal client may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or low self-esteem, struggling to balance personal and professional demands. They might feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or avoidance, and long for meaningful change. Their goals often include improving relationships, building confidence, and navigating life transitions. They seek a safe, supportive space to better understand themselves, break free from cycles holding them back, and develop strategies to create a more fulfilling, balanced life.

My counselling approach is person-centred and strength-based. You are invited to speak openly, without being judged or being told what to do. My counselling creates a sounding board for things you might want to talk about and provides a space to explore what you might like to do differently, achieve, or just understand better.
