You are here because you feel like you (or someone you know) may need therapy and are reading through profiles of strangers, scrolling through their videos and photos. It's a pretty common part of being on the internet nowadays, along with scrolling through memes and videos of food and cats. You may be looking for connection. Someone who speaks to you and may get you and your life story. I know what’s like, because I’ve been on that side of the screen going through that same process. Today may not be the day you choose to call or email, but you are scoping what’s there and most of it may sound pretty similar profile to profile.

In over 20 years as a therapist, I have worked with a wide range of clients and couples with many and varied issues. I work in a way that is strongly client, and emotionally focused. I have worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, substance issues, food disorders, grief, child-hood trauma, uncertainty around sexuality and gender, around identity and self confidence/esteem. I work well with clients who are looking to change their lives and who are open to exploring their issues; to challenge their thinking and to examine what isn't working for them and to take practical steps to shift beyond where they are now.

Hi, I’m Janelle, a holistic, transpersonal therapist, offering an alternative approach to conventional types of therapy. I believe that transformation & healing take place when the correct conditions are created. Thus, central to the way I work is providing a safe container of presence & real, two-way connection from where my clients can feel seen & heard for where they are at in their journey, whilst becoming equiped with evidence based tools & techniques to deepen their capacity for challenge, joy, connection & wholeness.

In these uncertain times we are faced with challenges that reverberate into every aspect of our being-in-the-world. We must unite with a community spirit that intentionally cares for the ‘greater good’ in the midst of much unchartered territory. But to support one-another, ourselves, and the planet in sustainable ways, we must also attend to our inner lives; nurturing every internal resource of strength and wisdom we possess in helpful ways, with self-compassion. Counselling can help.

I am an integrative therapist who loves working with people who are willing to be curious about themselves and others. I specialise in a process of somatic self-insight called Focusing, in which attention is placed not only on thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, but also on the body’s immediate, moment-to-moment reactions and felt sense of an issue. This process is well suited to people who are feeling stuck, suffer from anxiety and/or depression, or are having a transitional time in life and need to find an authentic way forward. Our sessions together are 75 minutes in length, and are designed to help you achieve meaningful change.

Hi, I am Maxi. I am a counsellor who specializes in relationship counselling and sex therapy. I support people in understanding themselves better, develop curiosity and self-compassion, I help my clients with evidence-based psychological therapies. I understand we are different and unique, so I would be tailoring my session to best suit you. I am experienced in a range of therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Schema Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Sex Therapy and Psychosexual Therapy.

Psychotherapy, as I practice it, offers a safe, non-judgmental, and cooperative space where your feelings, experiences, and innermost thoughts may be understood with kindness; and it also challenges the life-histories that often inhibit us in our interactions and relationships with others. Having taken this first step to begin therapy means that, despite your emotional suffering and conflicts, a part of you has chosen a personal path of life-enhancing. My practice is psychoanalytically oriented and focuses on the notion of listening deeply to develop with you a deeper understanding of your conflicts, pains, and desires.

I see individuals, couples, families and other groups who are seeking help with a range of both individual and interpersonal psychological issues.
