I specialise in helping my clients to move past obstacles in their lives, the thoughts, feelings or behaviours that are holding them back from being the most authentic version of themselves that they know they were meant to be. Travelling through life we pick up and absorb so much that does not belong to us, but we let it define us. Others perceptions of us become our own, we internalise unhelpful feelings and messages about ourselves that never belonged to us in the first place, but we all do it. If you hear it, feel it or see it often enough, it gets in. It robs us of our ability to view ourselves as we truly are.

Using Integrative and Somatic Experiencing TM approaches, I can help you to connect to life and living, to others and the world around you, some of the things we lose connection to when we have experienced trauma. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, physical health issues, people pleasing behaviours, and feeling disconnected are some of the issues that are recognised and worked through from this approach.

In therapy, I feel it is important for us to be able to say what we may feel unable to say to someone in the outside world. The therapy room offers you a place to be listened to without judgement. When we are given the space to talk about and explore our feelings clarity emerges. We all have a story to tell, and in this busy high tech world, feelings of loneliness and not being listened to are on the increase. To talk to someone who is not a friend or family member can be easier and more useful. Clients often tell me that they do not want to burden their loved ones with their problems.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or postcode into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
