My clients are typically committed to their own personal development. They often come looking for relief from a particular problem in their lives. Typically, they become curious about and want to disentangle the collective and family issues from who they are and to explore new patterns of being in the world through which they can be more of themselves. I am interested in engaging with diversity issues that both enrich and trouble us. I have been active for many years in community building between communities, organisations and institutions of learning.

I work with both individuals, couples and families, specialising in helping those with relationship difficulties, low-self esteem, anxiety and depression. Relationships are the most exciting and fulfilling aspect in our lives, but they can also be difficult and challenging. Most relationships go through a difficult patch at some time. Through counselling, you can learn how to stop fights from escalating, identify and change the underlying patterns that cause them and reconnect to the bond that you share with each other.

Therapy is the ultimate in self care. Together we work to create a therapeutic relationship, meeting as equals to empower and encourage you to explore and recognise patterns of behaviour that may be helpful for you to address. We can work together to set new, achievable goals for a different future and to implement change. Life can be so busy, leaving little or no time for nurturing our mental health. It’s understandable not to know where to turn next and it’s important to know you’re not alone.

Winter can be a tough time. Could be you're thinking of using these shorter days to get psychologically fit, sorting out difficulties both old and new. But with so many therapists each offering so much the choice can be bewildering. So how on earth to choose? Finding someone you can trust and have confidence in is key. A therapist with lots of experience who really knows what they’re doing. Someone who will not be phased by your story. Someone with patience, empathy and warmth. A good listener but someone with their feet firmly planted in the real world. Someone who really gets you and can help you.

As a parent or carer, trying to find a psychologist for a member of your family can feel like the "Wild West". Someone who you can trust with your family, someone who is highly qualified and experienced but who is also warm, patient and friendly. By the time you are seeking help, things have usually been stressful for quite a while and many parents tell me they are feeling desperate and don't know where to turn. Long waiting lists for CAMHS and trying to find the right person adds to the stress at a time when time can be crucial.

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.
