Are you currently struggling and need support? Maybe you feel right now that things can’t get better? I give you my word that they can and they will and I am here to help you. Before making an appointment I am happy to answer any questions you may have and ease your mind about how therapy works. After nearly 10 years in practice and having worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and various presentations, I have seen so many people journey from feeling broken and feeling like things will never change to feeling happy and strong again and seeing long lasting change in their lives.

Whether it’s a teen finding it hard to cope or an adult juggling responsibilities, I provide a safe, supportive space to explore their challenges, understand their emotions, and build tools for lasting emotional wellbeing.

Deciding to come for counselling can often be a difficult and drawn-out process. It is often also a very rewarding and enriching experience leading to changes in one’s life that reduce distress and increase one’s ability to cope with difficulties and challenges. By it's nature the process involves engaging with uncomfortable aspects of oneself and our relationships that are challenging. The goal of the process is to increase self-knowledge, self-acceptance and self-compassion to enhance our capacity to relate to ourselves and others in healthier and more fulfilling ways.

I’m a humanistic-integrative psychotherapist! This means that I don’t align myself with one type of practice, I work with the client to find an intervention that will suit their goals and needs. I have a MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy and a BA in Psychological Studies. Clients tend to see results within a month, depending on the severity of the issues at hand, which are then sustained after.

As an integrative therapist, I’m so incredibly passionate about working with young people and relationships. Be it the relationship with oneself, romantic, familial or platonic; I’ve had the honour of supporting clients overcoming their mountains. Experiences of grief, anxiety, loss of identity, relationship issues, confidence, depression, burnout, familial/peer conflict, uncertainty and confusion… Whatever your mountain, and its uniqueness to you; there’s none so small, or none too tall, that you cannot bring.

How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behaviour therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.

Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.

Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
