Counselling & Psychotherapy

Your healing journey is as unique as you are.

I combine traditional counselling techniques with psychological insights and coaching skills to create a therapeutic experience that is not only unique to you, but also effective.

My approach is all about compassion, empathy, and emotional validation.

I have spent years researching and working with individuals who are impacted by emotionally immature parents, partners, or others. I have seen the impact that these kinds of relationships can have on an individual. It can be isolating, shame-inducing, and crazy-making!

My mission is to empower you on your journey towards personal growth and well-being by helping you heal from emotionally immature people.

The most important part of any therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist.

This is why finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is so important.

Therapy sessions allow you to focus on yourself and what is going on in your life without fearing being judged or shamed.

Particularly if you are coming to therapy to process a relationship (romantic or otherwise) with someone who is emotionally immature, the therapy sessions can give you a chance to under what has happened in a warm, safe, and validating environment.

During this call, we'll chat about what you're looking for, how the therapy process works (both in general and with me), and there will be plenty of time for any questions you might have.

If we both feel it's a good fit, we can then schedule your first full session at a time that works for us both. I look forward to connecting with you and starting this journey together.

FAQs

  • This is totally indivdual. Some clients are happy after only a few sessions, while others want to continue working together for a lot longer. I work in an open-ended way, which means that you can decide how long you want to work together.

  • I know that the process of even finding a therapist can be totally overwhelming, and you’ve probably spent countless hours scrolling through Google and various directories before getting to this point.

    The process of starting therapy with me is pretty straightforward.

    Simply click the button to contact me.

    We'll then set up a time to chat on the phone.

    During our call, we'll discuss what you hope to achieve through therapy, and you can ask any questions you have about me, my approach, or therapy in general.

    If you decide to move forward, we'll schedule our first session, and we'll take it from there!

  • The first therapy session is the same length as your future sessions, however, it will feel slightly different. It is an assesment session, during whIch am trying to get to know you as much as possible. Therefore, I will probably ask more questions than in future sessions, and we will probably jump from one topic to another more so than in future sessions.

    We are aiming for breadth rather than depth in a first sesson.

  • If you are unable to commit to the same appoinmet time for each sesion, we will still be able to wok together, but it would be better to work together online.

    While therapy works a lot better with the stabiity of the same appointment time each session, I understand that this doesn’t work for everyone (either due to working shifts, childcare, an so on), and so I will do my best to accommodate.

  • If you’re unable to make a scheduled appointment, and let me know with at least 24 hours’ notice, you won’t be charged for the session. However, if you cancel within 24 hours of the appointment start time, the full session fee will be payable.

  • If you want to end therapy, you can let me know in a session that this or a future session will be your last.

    If this doesn’t feel possible, you can let me know via email.

    It is always beneficial to have a final session of therapy to wrap up the work that has been done.

    What is sometimes helpful is to arrange a follow-up session a month later. If you decide, closer to the time, that you don’t want this session, that’s okay. If you want to restart regular sessions, that can be arranged. If you’d like this session to be a one-off check-in, that is perfectly fine.
