My remit as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to create a toolbox of tools in the form of strategies and techniques tailored as far as possible to meet your exact mental health and wellbeing needs. I offer short-term, targeted counselling which provide guidance and general understanding about certain 'issues'. offer longer-term psychotherapy that works on the deeper levels of our psychic nature. I can help you to map the territory so that what is currently visible, becomes visible so that it can be worked with and managed and so you can plan and navigate your way with awareness and confidence.

I have an active, therapeutic practice focusing on solutions and strategies to understand and address personal issues and problems.

I’m looking forward to supporting you, whether you’re struggling with something extremely difficult or simply wanting more perspective in navigating life—either way, I admire your insight and strength in taking this first step. My approach is integrative and holistic, tailoring work to the strengths and needs of each client. I pull from experience with person-centered, solution-focused, psychotherapeutic, trauma-informed, play therapy, and verbal-processing methods. My first task as a therapist is to build a relationship with you in which you feel safe and supported to dig into the things that are troubling you and reach your goals.

At times, we can all experience difficult thoughts and feelings or a sense of being “stuck”: counselling can help us work through these, develop a better relationship with ourselves and those around us, and gain clarity and insight into the issues that are causing us problems. I believe that we all possess the resources to work through our problems, but at times these can become hidden and feel out of reach. My aim is to help you identify what you need and re-connect with your own resources.

Do you feel frightened that your world might fall apart if you look at your sexuality or gender? Maybe you have thoughts going round and round in your head, and feel like you’ve lost track of perspective. Maybe you: don't like sex/like sex 'too much' /wrong kind of sex? Your gender doesn't fit with other people's idea of you. You may feel you are betraying your family or culture by expressing yourself. You may believe that what’s inside you is too shocking, or wrong or too much for the people around you. You may feel like there’s no-one you can talk to, which can be very isolating.

You may be facing difficulties in terms of how you feel, for no particular reason, or from a known cause. It may be historical or it may have just arisen for you. Are you looking for a safe and reliable place to look at and explore what is happening for you? If you are looking for more than just a way through, and a space where you can make sense of what is happening, then psychotherapy may be right for you.

Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand ourselves, and the circumstances surrounding us are not allowing us to explore. Sharing thoughts and feelings has been one of the most refreshing, relaxing techniques. A lot can be achieved if this is done in the company of a trustworthy, experienced, trained professional, who is willing to be a part of your world. You will be bringing and sharing yourself with me. I will listen, understand and walk along with you on your journey of finding your way through the paths you find difficult to walk on. I will help you build a comfortable environment for yourself without being judgemental.

Underpinning psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a vast body of work that began with Freud, but the theory doesn't have an overt presence in the room. Psychotherapy in practice is more a process of discovery for both therapist and client. It can be challenging, exciting, frightening – even funny - as we both try to better understand the circumstances and patterns that have brought you to therapy. It's a good idea to have a no-obligation free session, to see what it's like.

Life can become extremely difficult: things may seem overwhelming and out of control following a recent event or trauma; possibly something from your past has returned to worry you; or you realise that you need to finally tackle something you have been suffering with for a long time; perhaps you need to make an important decision and can’t think how to do so; or maybe you are plagued with anxiety or unhappy but with no clear idea as to why. Talking to someone and being fully listened to, without being judged, can be the start of a process of coming to terms with difficult and traumatic experiences.

We all might experience difficult times in life; feeling complicated feelings and struggling to understand what is going on for you and why is a normal occurrence. Using my knowledge and extensive experience as a psychotherapist I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore your issues and reflect on your situation. A greater understanding of your internal world will enable you to gain insight into how you operate and understand yourself better. The therapeutic process will enable you to change your life and your relationships. I offer a safe space to faciliate the delicate journey of exploring.

At some point in life, most of us long for new ways of being. This can be brought on through a period of depression, anxiety, traumatic past events, relationship problems, or grief and loss. Many of my clients have never seen a therapist before and I recognise that choosing to do so is a big decision. It often comes from a realisation that now is the time to take a pause, to reflect and to invest in oneself. For couples counselling, I know that navigating the complexities of our relationships can be challenging - humans are complex - two of us together is more complex! Having space to talk and be heard is a good place to start.

My practice is internet and phone-based for those who are comfortable working this way and who are seeking to resolve issues that can be appropriately addressed through this kind of contact. Clients find this manner of working ideal who appreciate the convenience, don't feel the need for the sessions to be conducted in-person, and are self-motivated to apply themselves to self-help assignments between sessions. If clients require medication or safety management, my services are best sought as a complementary adjunct to local, in-person medical/mental healthcare from properly credentialed mental health providers.

I work in Cambridge offering short or long-term counselling (online and face-to-face) to people from a variety of backgrounds, including students and young adults. My aim is to provide a warm, safe and confidential environment where people feel comfortable to talk about their lives. Everyone comes with something different to talk about - perhaps you've got relationship issues, or you are at a turning point in your life. Maybe you want to talk about how the past is impacting on you right now. What matters is feeling supported and guided as you explore your world.

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 counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors 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 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 counselors. Many have been licensed by the country 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 counselling. 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.
