I see adults, couples, elderly people, children, and teens.
My goal is to help get you back on your feet and functioning well again as soon as possible. People usually see me for between 2 and 12 sessions, but with chronic illness and dissociative disorders you may want longer-term or ongoing support. The goal in Human Givens therapy is emotional health and clear thinking.

As a sex therapist, I support individuals, couples, and multi- partners in navigating sex problems, relationship challenges, and anxiety or stress related to intimacy.
Sex is like cooking: a creative, messy process that never turns out quite the same way twice; the pleasure lies in the experience, not in the final result. Yet sex is so difficult to talk about, and for many, sex can feel stressful, painful, or disconnected. You may struggle with desire, performance, or pleasure, longing to feel confident and connected again. Together, we can explore concerns such as desire, sexual pain, vaginismus, orgasmic difficulties, erections, ejaculation, sexuality, sexual confidence, and many other areas with compassion, curiosity, and understanding.

I am an accredited therapist providing support to both individuals and couples.
Our relationships are constantly evolving and sometimes we find that we get stuck in the same argument or that we cannot seem to communicate as well as we would like to. I consider your relationship as my client and I will work with each of you to identify and break unhelpful, historic patterns to help you communicate your needs within the relationship.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite like themselves and want support to understand what’s going on and how best to move forward. They may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, or a major life transition. They want a safe, non-judgemental and collaborative space to explore their feelings, with evidence-based psychological therapy and practical strategies to support them. Their goal is often to feel more confident and able to cope with life's challenges.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating despite your best efforts. Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, taking too much responsibility, feeling “not good enough” or emotionally disconnected. Anxiety, low mood or the impact of past experiences may be leaving you exhausted and unsure of who you are beneath these patterns. You may want more than just coping — you want to understand where these patterns come from and how to move towards a more grounded, confident and authentic way of being.

I offer online therapy for individuals, couples, and multi-partnered folks internationally.
Looking for neuro-affirming therapy that understands why life can feel so heavy?
Maybe you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like everyone else got a "manual for life" you somehow missed. If relationships leave you doubting yourself, replaying conversations, or wondering if you are the problem, I want you to know: You aren't broken, and you don’t have to carry this alone.
If you are looking for therapy that goes beyond labeling everything as trauma and only focusing on coping tools, you've found the right place. I offer a tailored, neuro-affirming approach for deeply feeling, anxious, and neurodivergent adults. Sound like you?

Hi there, my name is Ana and I'm a psychodynamic therapist and supervisor with a special interest and experience in working with those affected by existential issues and a Masters thesis in working with adult children of parents with narcissistic traits.

Life abroad can be enriching, but it often comes with challenges that feel overwhelming. Many people seek therapy when they notice recurring patterns that cause them distress, when emotions and thoughts pile up and become unmanageable, or when old coping strategies and the support of friends or family are no longer enough. Sometimes, therapy is simply about wanting to better understand yourself and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship with who you are.
Our approach combines diverse therapeutic perspectives and an understanding of different cultural contexts, offering a broader view of people and their inner experiences.

Psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy is an open-ended conversation with no agenda and no time limit (i.e. number of sessions). The practice (Greek: Praxis) of psychoanalysis attends to the person who comes for analysis, to listen and witness their concerns, and to facilitate, if possible some kind of loosening of the strictures than bind and contort experience. I work with people with different needs under the rubric of mental distress.

I also work with partners experiencing betrayal trauma.
You might be experiencing problems in relationships, work and health and feel overwhelmed. Understanding your relationship with substances & behaviours is key and often the root of cause lies in the past. I'll work with you to explore the origins of unhelpful patterns of behaviour, relating to others, unresolved trauma, and feelings of anxiety & depression.

I am a psychotherapist and coach working with individuals and couples.
My approach draws on several therapeutic models, and I adapt how I work to each person's needs and preferences. I use two main therapeutic approaches — Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My couples work is guided by my training in Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), which is the IFS approach to working with relationships.

In work with couples, I use an emotionally focused approach and integrate trauma-informed and psychosexual approaches
Hello, my name is Anna Planedin and my main approach is psychodynamic but I am also trained in person-centered and emotionally focused therapies. I help people find relief and movement from a place of feeling 'stuck.' I specialize in working with chronic pain, loss, trauma and sex/sexuality. I view therapy as a process of helping you listen to your gut feelings, find safety and containment and feel less alone in overwhelming experiences. It is my hope that through speaking about difficult or taboo feelings with me, you will feel understood and accepted, and that over time you feel more durable in how you respond to difficulty.

Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same arguments, leaving you feeling unheard or distant.

Marriage Counselling Counsellors
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
