I work with people who find themselves overthinking everything; who are overwhelmed; who avoid and shut down. I also work with people who never feel good enough, as well as those who find that their past continues to affect their lives and relationships in the here and now. I provide a non-judgemental, empathetic space to look at the core issues and build the tools needed to work through, transform, and break the cycles keeping people stuck. If you find yourself repeating the same patterns, despite maybe having tried to figure it out yourself or with help before, I'm happy to find a time to chat and see if this therapy could help.

I am BACP registed, working online with an international client base. I provide a compassionate, comfortable and supportive environment with clients navigating a multitude of challenges. My therapeutic work concentrates on guiding and supporting clients to acheive their personal life goals. Clients develop stronger self-awareness, are able to manage distress, regulate their emotions and their ability to communicate and express themselves hence fostering meaningful connections.
Therapy, in my opinion, can best address the needs of clients with BPD/EUPD, ADHD and PTSD when a strong, meaningful, and caring relationship exists.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Counsellors
How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioural therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behaviour therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom which may include antipsychotics, antidepressants, or anti-anxiety drugs.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
