Sometimes life can be difficult, and we feel we need a little extra help. I am a highly experienced, empathic, and creative therapist, working with children, young people, and adults who may be experiencing stress and low mood, worries, or feel down about themselves. I also support individuals who have experienced trauma, or are struggling with bereavement of difficult life experiences. I have training and experience in both therapeutic person centred counselling, creative therapies, and cognitive behavioural therapy, so can adapt my approach to meet your needs. Being a mum of 3, I understand how important support is for families.

I work with relationship challenges. Perhaps romantic relationships are challenging, or the relationship with family and early years carers causes you discomfort. Whatever the relationship, if it is unsatisfactory can be a great cause of suffering. Perhaps a traumatic event leads to fear and mistrust of others. Learned behaviours are needed at the time they are created. In later life, the same pattern can replay in different ways. My hope is for you to have fulfilling, supportive relationships and to create that through a therapeutic relationship.

Perhaps you’re grappling with your past experiences or with something that's going on for you now. Your thoughts and feelings may be overwhelming. Maybe you’re figuring out what’s important and how you’d like your life to be. Work, or your relationships with friends and loved ones may be tricky or unsatisfying. Perhaps you're finding yourself in familiar situations time and again and would like things to be different but you can't figure out how to make it happen. Whatever YOUR unique reasons are for looking for a therapist, I imagine you’ve probably been trying hard already to figure things out on your own.

We are all individuals with a unique way of being in the world. I work as an Integrative Psychotherapist, meaning I draw on various theories and approaches personally suited to your unique needs.

Such greater self-awareness can set you on a new path with yourself and others.

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.
