Sessions are online using Zoom.

Good online therapy can be as effective as meeting in-person. And a bit more convenient!

​

I work with women and men who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, loss, trauma, prenatal and postnatal emotional distress, overwhelming uncertainty about the future, and other complex issues.

 

My approach has a relational-developmental psychodynamic core, integrated with elements of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and mindfulness, informed by neuroscience. 

​

Sometimes in sessions we will be in conversation, sometimes I will simply listen as you describe what has happened.

​​

Therapy is a way of thinking together.

On our own it can be difficult to change old ways of muddling through because they often involve relating, with other people and with ourselves.

​

Therapy helps us understand these habitual interconnected patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour, and explore alternatives that could work better. 

 

How you feel today is a combination of your genes, your past experiences and your current situation. We can’t change our genes but we can understand ourselves better and gradually change how we respond to situations.

 

As we build this understanding, we recalibrate our perceptions of risk and build trust, which allows openness, so we can be more ourselves in therapy, and then outside therapy too.
