It can be difficult to share feelings of anxiety, burnout, low moods, imposter syndrome or uncertainty with colleagues, family or friends. Often you can be met with unwanted advice or loaded opinion. You may have people who are relying on you to be strong and lead. My practice is where you can get these worries out without judgement. I can help safely unravel your complex thoughts, and find clarity in what might be going on for you, to successfully move forward. Whether it’s leadership, work-life balance, people problems or a rough upbringing that just keeps biting – it doesn’t matter where you start. I am on your team.

If you're highly sensitive, an introvert, or a deep thinker or feeler, I'm here to support you to connect with yourself and the world again. There is a way for us to heal the parts of you that are in pain and connect to the compassion and creativity that already exists inside you. Together, we’ll explore why parts of you are acting in extreme ways or overwhelming you with emotion. We'll make sense of the difficult experiences you’ve been through and reconnect with compassion, clarity and a sense of calm.

I am a psychologist with particular interest in working with individuals, families and couples who want to use therapy to think about relationships. In some cases, this might be in the context of an autism spectrum condition, an existential/life crisis, or a change in circumstances. I've enjoyed working with creative people who are feeling blocked, and people who feel stuck in relationship patterns. I try to be honest, straightforward, and open. In the past, clients have described me as thoughtful, caring, funny (where appropriate!), and creative.

I work with people with all kinds of difficulties, but I specialise in supporting people to overcome difficult experiences relating to school or education, even when these experiences happened a long time ago. My approach is kind and compassionate, and I work slowly and gently in order that you have time to settle into therapy and tell your story in your own way.

I work with adult men and women of all ages anywhere in the UK offering online video and telephone counselling. Quite a lot of us, at some stage in our lives, have been in a situation where we have nobody around us we can talk to. Even though you may have family and friends who care about you, you can still feel alone and isolated or feel that you do not want to ‘bother’ or ‘burden’ them with your feelings.

A Chinese and Spanish heritage and background in Social Policy means she's described with an innate awareness and intersectional understanding of the barriers people face in society that inhibits access to our erotic selves.

Hi, I'm Maisie and I specialise in EMDR therapy for birth and postnatal trauma. I also offer therapy for people who are struggling to adjust to parenthood. I understand the transition to becoming a parent can be difficult, even without experiencing birth trauma. Our children are mirrors of us and difficult childhood experiences can often come to the surface when you become a parent yourself. EMDR can help you process any difficult feelings that may have come to the surface for you. I offer a gentle, collaborative, down to earth approach to therapy.

You are the queen of unrealised potential. Sadly there are no prizes for nearly making it and your life feels half finished. As if someone started to take charge and then tailed off somewhere in the middle. Although you are by all observations successful, you know that deep down you could do more and that disappoints you. You don't want to live your life in fits and starts but despite your obvious intelligence, you have not yet figured out how to keep going at a steady pace. Instead you live this 'half in, half out' existence which frustrates and bores you. You don't know how to turn this around and that makes you want to give up.

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.
