Whether you are feeling stuck, anxious or depressed, have difficulty in your relationships or simply want to discuss what is on your mind, psychotherapy can often offer you a new perspective. As a qualified psychotherapist, I offer a safe space for exploring what is going on for you and work together with you to make (new) meaning of your stories and create new ones.

I have experience of working with adults across all age groups, from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. Working together and at your pace, I offer a professional, confidential, non-judgemental, safe space for you to talk about what is troubling you, where you feel heard, and where we can explore your experiences and begin the process of opening up possibilities for lasting change.

Dealing with a loss or major change in your life? Feeling overwhelmed by trauma from your past or by a current relationship? Experiencing family difficulties and or realising your values are different from the ones you grew up with? At some points in our lives we all need extra support and this is nothing to feel ashamed of, in fact asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do. I offer an empathic, non-judgmental approach and warmth in our journey together. This will enable you to explore the sometimes painful feelings, past experiences and stuck patterns of behaviour that may be holding you back.

Taking the first step to solve intimacy issues can often feel intimidating but from our first call I will help you feel as comfortable as I can. . Through positive-oriented therapy, I help you get to the root cause of the problem and guide you to implement practical solutions. I work extensively with clients struggling with sexual issues such as low sexual desire, anxiety, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus and sex/porn addiction as well as couples looking to fix relationship problems which include communication difficulties, mismatched libido, conflict and betrayal.

Are you having more bad days than good? Feeling fed-up, depressed, anxious or grieving and having trouble ‘to shake’ those difficult feelings? Perhaps you are feeling stuck or having trouble with your relationships? We can feel we ‘should’ be able to cope which can be make our differcult feelings more tough and feel very isolating for you too. I know how daunting it can be to share your thoughts and feelings with someone. Before becoming a therapist, I felt the same. Together can create a create a sanctuary, a place where you can ‘come as you are’ and share what is you are experiencing. A time and space, just for you

As an integrative counsellor, I use a range of approaches and models. I will work with you to help you to explore whatever life issues you may be struggling with. Our sessions gives you the opportunity to discuss your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a non-judgemental and confidential space. I will give you time to work out how to best cope with what you are facing, to come to terms with the past as well as to explore ways to improve your relationships. I will support you but also at times challenge you so that you can honestly evaluate and clarify what really matters to you.

Many people come to therapy feeling low, anxious, or lost, and I offer a space to explore those feelings and identify opportunities for doing things differently. Building a rich picture of who you are can help us make change in the areas that are important to you, and I believe the most important thing in any therapy space is that you can feel safe and heard. I draw on a range of approaches (e.g. CBT, compassion-focused and narrative therapy), with a particular focus on values, self-compassion and identity. I am experienced in supporting adults of all ages with a range of issues, such as low mood, stress, anxiety and shame.

Clients often come to me when they are feeling overwhelmed and stressed or in a rut. Together we can figure out what's going on for you and how you would like things to be different. I can help you to develop compassion toward yourself, boosting your self-esteem and facilitating a way for you to move forward with more confidence. We are able to do so much more with our lives and relationships when we are on our own team and I can assist with getting you there.

I am an Integrative Counsellor, member of the BACP who can provide Online Counselling at a pace and in a place you feel comfortable. I also offer walking therapy where we can walk side-by-side and utilise the benefits of nature. In today's society is easy to judge ourselves based on others demands and norms and neglect our values, needs and goals in order to fit in and feel accepted. But in doing that, we lose sight of our own uniqueness value. In the way that I work, I listen without judgement, accept your experiences as you have experienced them and provide a space in which you can share your truth and be heard.

You may be considering professional counselling for many different reasons. It may be that you are experiencing emotional difficulty or discomfort as a result of some kind of severe and identifiable trauma or loss or it may be that you have more of a feeling or sense of unease that things are not quite right, or could be better. Some people have a particular experience or challenge they want to work through, for others their goals are less specific and more general. Whatever your situation, professional counselling could help. Please feel free to get in touch.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist who can work with children and adults through various mental health difficulties. I am passionate about supporting people to rebuild their identity and develop coping skills. I recognise that mental health is impacted by our beliefs about ourselves and the world, negative thinking patterns, but also everyday triggers and what we have gone through in our lives. I believe in a trauma-informed, non-blaming approach, validating that people are impacted by what may have happened to them, not what is ‘wrong’ with them.

You may be seeking counselling or psychotherapy for any number of reasons. Perhaps something specific has happened to you that you would like to talk about. Perhaps you don't really know what is wrong, but you are aware of feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or stressed and feel you would like some support in working through and exploring what might be informing those feelings. In both, and all cases, my approach as a Psychotherapist is to work in a way which provides a safe, empathetic and confidential space, where you and I can together, explore what has brought you to therapy, and help you get back on track.

Finding the right person to trust and talk to can feel difficult, but together we can explore your issues, in a safe place where you will be heard fully; and where you will be able to process your thoughts openly without judgement. As a qualified integrative counsellor, I draw upon a person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic approach. This places my client’s best interest first; to facilitate the safe and trusted exploration of current and past conflicts, trauma and/or struggles affecting you today.

I am an integrative counsellor which means I believe the past, especially our relationship (or lack of relationship) with our parents/caregivers shapes the person we are today. As your counsellor aim to provide a safe space for us to work through your issues, recognising and changing unhelpful beliefs with a view to helping you towards becoming your best self. I believe like a phoenix we all have the ability to rise from the ashes and it helps to have a counsellor who you feel is really in your corner.

I am an experienced psychotherapist, drawing on a range of psychological and creative theories to try and meet your specific concern and needs. When you engage in psychotherapy or counselling with me, I listen carefully to you, to help you make sense of and gain a deeper insight into your problems. I believe we are all unique and need different things at different times in our lives, and in you setting the pace of our work together. I see psychotherapy as a creative process, facilitating finding new ways of expanding, growing and adapting to present life or circumstances.

I have over 15 years' experience as a psychotherapist mostly in private practice but also within the NHS. If you are feeling anxious or depressed or experiencing difficulties in relationships then starting a psychotherapy or analysis may help. My approach is collaborative. Sessions provide an opportunity for us to attend to what is surfacing in your thoughts and feelings and interactions with others. Over time the underlying dynamics, including inner conflicts and anxieties, may reveal themselves. The process of reflecting together on what emerges can bring new perspectives and the possibility of change.

I help people who are feeling lost, in pain and increasingly unable to cope. I work with people who suffer from debilitating anxiety, depression and trauma and all of the many manifestations these can have in your life such as alcohol and drug abuse, eating disorders and self harm, relationship difficulties, social anxiety, codependency and suicidal thoughts and feelings. Clients I see often, above all else, just want some peace of mind. This often comes alongside self acceptance, healthy relationships with friends and family and a satisfying work life balance.

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.
