I offer individual and group psychotherapy. Psychotherapy has the exciting potential to support self understanding and change. The reasons that people give psychotherapy a try are uniquely subjective. Initially there is a wish to try something new and involves some type of recognition-noticing something that feels tangled, elusive, and a struggle. Especially in group psychotherapy you come to know yourself in ways you didn't before; through reflecting with others on experiences in and out of the group. Group therapy can help with figuring out options for change in oneself and in relationships and can bring hope for the future.

My primary therapeutic grounding is in Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an approach to change that’s solution focused, practical and geared towards achieving goals specific to your life circumstances and challenges you feel are holding you back. Over the years, I've done extensive professional training so I tailor my approach to each unique individual. My ideal client is curious, open to discussing and exploring ideas and keen to pursue lasting personal transformation. This a real challenge which takes great courage. Successful therapy requires some degree of trust in the process and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

I help clients deepen understanding and make changes in their lives. You may find yourself following the same destructive patterns in your relationships and not understand why. Perhaps you feel intensely anxious, lonely, angry or misunderstood by those around you or have a feeling of being at odds with yourself in day to day life. You may find yourself in a relationship which feels emotionally dangerous or where communication has completely broken down. Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on the role of the unconscious and how our past experiences may impact the way we understand ourselves, and others, in the present.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Is life seeming like too much to cope with? Do you feel confused, find it difficult to know what you want or difficult to express your needs? Are your relationships troubling you rather than bringing you joy and satisfaction? Do you suffer from unexplained aches and pains or sometimes find it difficult to breathe? Do you sometimes wonder how you ended up in the life you're leading? Is this all there is? Does your own body seem alien to you? Uncomfortable? Do you find it hard to appreciate your body or do beneficial things like eating well or getting exercise. Body psychotherapy can help.

Clients reach out to me because they are struggling within themselves, their work or their relationships. They might be feeling depressed, anxious, dreadful, stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, angry, empty, numb, purposeless, meaningless, traumatised, disconnected; yet not realise it. They might need to feel better, and live fulfilled lives. They may want to discover themselves and what would make them happy. At times people enter therapy in a crisis or for a multitude of other reasons and stay for various lengths of time. The time of entry is usually significant. Therapy is no longer a stigma; self development is now a norm.

I have high clinical expertise in CBT and Psychodynamic Therapy. Therapy enables us to have a deeper understanding of our unconscious motivations.

Life is rarely straightforward. If you’re having a difficult time, it can be helpful to talk with a professional outside your circle of friends and family. Whatever you are going through, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore your life, your past and your present challenges. If you need support, I can help support you as you identify the areas of your life you wish to work on. If you’re seeking change, I can help you achieve it. If you’re living with trauma or a traumatic event, I can help you through the process, examining your choices to help you move forward more positively in your life.

All of life’s experience is part of our personal developmental challenge, our evolutionary journey. Often is not easy to see how a difficult experience can be helping us grow. Increasing awareness helps us understand and transform our struggles into gifts. The result is increased happiness, love, freedom, and wisdom in our life. The way I practice is by establishing a safe, trusting relationship in which the client feels free to express personal thoughts and emotions. The tools I offer cultivate deep, personal insight and give you the opportunity to integrate the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your being.

Asking for help can be really daunting. If you are here, reading this, and have recognised that you might benefit from the kind of support that therapy offers, then you have already taken a big step. There can be lots of reasons you might benefit from therapy. You might be dealing with a difficult time, such as an illness, bereavement, a separation. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, lost or low more often than feels ‘ok’. You might want to understand yourself better, why you feel and behave the way you do, or want to feel more alive.

When we sit together, we begin with whatever you would like to share. If you don’t know what to say, we can simply begin with that. Maybe you are seeking clarity around a specific problem. Maybe you are suffering a bereavement, or a separation. Maybe you’re hoping for a space in which you can simply cry, or rage, without being judged. It is all welcome.

Making the decision to access therapy can be a daunting one. Maybe you have been dealing with anxiety & would like to find some strategies to support yourself or maybe you would like to change patterns, relationships & become more self-aware. You might be in a relationship where you feel the same issues keep resurfacing & you would like someone to help you consider how to improve communication. It could be that you feel experiences in the past are impacting your quality of life or you wish you knew more about what makes you who you are? Therapy is a place to help you gain insight and look towards change.

There are several reasons why people seek therapy. Every human story is unique and complex; every issue is worth listening to. Working with clients of diverse backgrounds, sharing their narratives and accompanying them in unravelling their stories has been a privilege for me as a counsellor. Trained as an Existential psychotherapist, I offer counselling to adults and adolescents. My approach is person centred with the intention of exploring and understanding each individual's unique personal experiences and needs. I believe that therapy can help us to achieve a greater understanding of ourselves and others and boost resilience.

Is online therapy a good option?

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.
