Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is ideally suited to clients who are undergoing a certain amount of mental suffering, and are motivated to do the slow, demanding work of finding out what has given rise to it. Clients may use therapy to talk about distressing experiences they have recently or not so recently undergone, dilemmas or difficult decisions they find themselves faced with, or symptoms such as depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and rituals, and some varieties of chronic pain for which there is no apparent medical cause.

I'm here to assist people in discovering and harnessing their inner strengths, abilities and resources. I believe, and keep experiencing,  that an encouraging and unconditionally accepting presence of another person can be fundamental support in finding our way back to our authentic selves. I believe that the damage that was done in relationship(s) is corrected through relationship(s). As Dr. Stephen Porges theorises, spontaneous (authentic) social engagement is fundamental to our wellbeing as social beings.

I decided to train as a professional counsellor after my own experience with depression. It's such an incredible privilege to be able to use my own life experiences to help others. Whichever way we work together, the relationship between us will be what enables the changes you wish to make and I will consistently offer empathy and support, no matter how difficult some of the things we deal with may be, and to be honest and upfront with you. This will help to nurture an environment in which you feel truly heard, valued, and empowered to make positive change.

You promised you would not watch online porn or live sex cams again. You feel guilt and shame because you want to stop but cant. You visited a sex worker during lockdown and now you are worried you might have put the health of your family at risk. You plan to spend a short time on dating apps and find yourself spending hours on them, unable to put them down, feeling desperate and hopeless. You have an instant attraction when you meet a particular type of person, believing they are the one. You are in recovery for alcohol / drug addiction, but your compulsive sexual acting out behaviours have increased and you feel guilt and shame.

Psychotherapy offers the possibility to explore various aspects of your life in a way that is rarely possible with family or friends. Psychotherapy offers a space where you can speak of your suffering and presents the opportunity to re-shape it. It can be a truly transformative experience where you can reflect on your experience in a confidential way.

Systemic Psychotherapy, also known as Couple or Family Therapy, attempts to understand a person’s distress within the situation in which it occurs, such as in the person’s family, couple relationship or in the wider environment. This therapeutic approach does not isolate the person, but rather helps individuals make sense of their difficulties in the context of their present lives. A family therapist believes that, while the origin of a problem may well have a foundation in the past, the solution can often be found in current relationships.

Despite our best efforts, there are particular times when life can become difficult and situations can become overwhelming. It is in this place one often starts to consider the support found in Counselling and Psychotherapy. As Kubler-Ross wrote: People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

I believe that all children and young people deserve the opportunity to feel safe, to be happy and to achieve their potential in life. I work creatively using a non-directive, holistic model of Play Therapy to support children to help themselves. Working with a fun, non-judgemental approach I value everybody's talents equally. I facilitate children and young people to choose the activity in each session while I hold the space to keep everybody physically and emotionally safe. In Play Therapy children encounter the world at conscious and unconscious levels, working through difficulties in their own time.

I am an experienced counsellor and I understand contacting me is difficult. You may be feeling overwhelmed and possibly finding it difficult to cope. I will support you as we explore what you need from counselling and how I can help you. I believe that life doesn't have to be so hard and it is possible for you to live in a more fulfilling way. Counselling is a wonderful opportunity to take stock of your life, to heal old wounds and figure out how to live happily. Let us work together to help you learn to understand why you are feeling and behaving in certain ways and how to make different choices that will enhance your life.

Each session with me is a confidential and held in a safe and regular space for a person to think and talk about themselves and the world they live in. My aim as a counsellor is to support each person as they gain an insight and understanding into their life challenges and difficulties, while also supporting them as they make changes.

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.
