It may be a particular concern or a general sense of confusion that you can’t put your finger on that is drawing you towards therapy. It is not an easy decision to make but just feeling heard and having the freedom to express yourself can be a relief from the outset. I have experience with a broad range of issues including family difficulties, issues related to motherhood, bereavement and narcissistic abuse among others.

Are you feeling lost, anxious or lonely. Or you may feel deep sadness due to the loss of a loved one? These feelings can be overwhelming and cause you to become stuck. As we navigate through unprecedented times your feelings may be heightened and cause you to feel triggered, isolated, or scared. These feelings are perfectly normal and often having a safe confidential space to explore these emotions can provide much needed relief for you as the carrier. I understand your experience of the world is unique as an individual, and I will build my relationship with you based on your individual needs

I offer a safe and supportive space to work through a variety of challenging situations. I am a Jungian Analyst. My approach to psychotherapy is based on the work of Carl Gustav Jung. In practice, this means that there is an emphasis on the individual and on wholeness, and where possible, I work with dreams.

Whether you are struggling with a life event or you carry unhelpful patterns from the past, I would like to help you manage the present more to your satisfaction. I will listen and try to understand what life is like for you. If you feel that you are not good enough and that your low self-esteem is impacting on your choices and the view of yourself, life can be hard. Experiencing problems in important relationships in your life, or struggling to connect with people, can make you feel isolated. Talking to somebody could be the first helpful step.

Starting therapy can be daunting. Perhaps you’re struggling with low self-esteem, low moods or anxiety. Maybe you find that you often put others first or struggle to set boundaries. Maybe you’re in a place to explore and learn about yourself. My role is to facilitate a relationship based on mutual trust, where we can explore your sense of self, process old and new conflicts, and begin to learn how to manage any difficulties you may have.

Counselling is a therapeutic space that can offer you the opportunity to explore the dynamics of your life, privately and confidentially. Below are some questions that my resonate with you. Do you feel numb, detached, or overwhelmed with emotions; such as anger, sadness or loneliness? Have you ever felt as if those around you don't understand what you're going through? Do you feel stuck, not knowing who to turn to or what direction to take in life? Are those that are close to you the cause of or contributing to your distress?

How long would you like to be in the dark, telling me how dark it is? When shall we look for the light? Each of us is born with a powerful set of tools which we use to seek out and satisfy our needs for emotional nourishment. If those needs are being met in healthy, balanced and sustainable ways it is very much easier to maintain good emotional health. However, if that guidance system is not properly programmed, or if it has been damaged in some way, perhaps through trauma or poor skills development, it will be difficult to build a firm foundation for emotional well-being. Really good therapy will address those issues, quickly.

I work relationally with the clients I see, aiming to build a shared understanding of their difficulties. Using integrative techniques (including evidence based psychodynamic, existential, humanistic & cognitive behavioural modalities) I focus on encouraging individuals/couples to identify their existing challenges, build an understanding of themselves & their situation, & reflect on why they may feel the way they do. Through this process it is possible to build long term resilience & a more robust sense of self, having identified patterns of relating to others. This includes developing skills & techniques for coping in the future.

Often people come to therapy assuming there is something wrong with them. I am a firm believer that this is not true; there is not something wrong with you, there is just something wrong. It's okay to have doubts, it’s okay if life doesn’t make sense, it’s okay to not be sure who you are, at any age or stage. Often these thoughts are the ones that lead to the biggest growth. I know not everyone comes to therapy to change; sometimes it’s a tool to make sense of yourself, your past and hopes for the future, or sometimes it’s just a chance to have someone truly listen to you, perhaps for the first time.

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.
