Psychotherapy is an approach to treating mental health issues by talking with a Psychologist, Psychiatrist or another mental health provider. It is also known as Talk Therapy, Counselling, Psychosocial Therapy or simply, Therapy.

During Psychotherapy, you learn about your specific issues and how your thoughts, emotions and behaviours affect your moods. Talk therapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. There are many types of Psychotherapy. The type that's right for you depends on your situation.

Psychotherapists help people to overcome stress, emotional or relationship problems or troublesome habits. There are many different approaches in Psychotherapy, or talking therapies, which include: Cognitive Behavioural therapies and Psychoanalytic therapies. A combination of different therapies is used to create a bespoke plan for my clients.

I get this, I totally do, and sometimes I want to talk to friends about problems but...they only know how to fix it their way, and we need to learn our own method of coping.

By working with a professional therapist, they are able to teach you the tools you need to make positive changes in your life. There is no judgement or risk of gossiping, and somewhere you can focus, be honest and open and find the answers that will help.

Take the opportunity to have a consultation with as many as you would like. It is of no use to pay for a service if you and the Therapist don't get along. As humans, we have our preferences and being able to feel comfortable to open up about your mental health is the most important consideration. I have refused clients because I didn't feel comfortable with them, and wouldn't want them to waste time and money if there is no mutual 'spark' or trust.

Anything, absolutely anything! There is no such thing as a stupid question, and if I don't know, I will find out for you or refer you to the appropriate places or services.

Unlike most therapy which is 6-8 weeks long, I offer a minimum of 12 weeks, which includes one Zoom call per week, text and email support and weekly review.

My 26-week package includes 27 Zoom calls, email/text support and a weekly and monthly review.

I am contactable during working hours during the week for any extra support and my support platform is filled with extensive resources to help you if I'm unavailable.

No - when you sign up, you are asked to fill out an online form giving me a brief outline. I then create a first session where you ask yourself more than I do. Although a Psychotherapist specialises in talking therapies, I am not there to make you answer anything uncomfortable. We move at your speed.

Simply put, you decide what you want to work towards, and that's what we do.

We simply don't talk about them. My method of therapy is client-led - we talk about and manage what you need to at that time. Small successes in therapy mean that the client can move forward in a much safer and healthier way. This is why I offer a minimum of 12 weeks.

Yes, you can. If it's for minor trauma, mild anxiety or depression, the single treatments may provide the tools to help you. It is down to the individual and what's best for you.
