Many people I work with have been in therapy before. Some found it helpful up to a point, others felt like it never quite fit for them. Some are coming for the first time, unsure whether therapy can help. I work with adults and couples dealing with almost all mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and relationship strain. I use evidence-based approaches, focusing on the patterns underneath the symptoms rather than the label on them. For couples, I work with those caught in painful cycles or trust ruptures, including those who are unsure of whether to stay or leave.

What happens when you experience big emotions? Life can throw us curveballs, and the solution isn’t about how to avoid or prevent stressors, it’s about learning how to self-regulate and regain our mental capacity. My therapy style focuses on rebuilding and expanding your window of tolerance so you feel more empowered in life. I primarily work with individuals navigating addiction, complex trauma, diagnosed personality disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideations, and general struggles with mood swings.

Even if you’ve tried therapy before, you may still feel stuck in patterns that leave you disconnected, unfulfilled or hopeless. Often, these patterns are rooted in earlier experiences that haven’t yet been fully understood. Therapy is not about fixing you, but about helping you make sense of your unique story. When you feel seen and begin to understand yourself differently, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.

How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behaviour therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
