 ~ Online counselling and EMDR therapy for adults facing life’s challenges, from midlife transitions to healing from trauma ~

When life feels challenging, daunting or unfulfilling, it’s usually a result of trauma, difficult life events or relational issues. This can make you feel anxious, depressed and not quite yourself.

 

Trauma sounds scary, but it isn’t always what you think it is.

Sometimes trauma is the result of a big, dramatic event in your life. Sometimes, it’s an accumulation of difficult everyday events.

 

You might feel a bit alone, disconnected or misunderstood, and you probably picked up some negative thoughts and habits as a way to cope.

 

You can overcome this. You can work through the coping mechanisms that no longer work for you. You can feel lighter and more at ease in life. You can fully believe and feel that you are good enough.

 

I know because I’ve seen it happen many, many times — and now, I’d love to help you get there too.

Is Therapy The Right Solution For You?

What if you’re successful? What if you live a good life? What if you’re in a good relationship? Doesn’t all this mean that you’re doing great on your own?

 

People find different ways to cope with trauma, and difficult life experiences. Many of my clients live good lives, but don’t feel the way they know they could. There’s an emotional discrepancy between their external and their internal world, and they don’t fully know the reasons why.

 

If this discrepancy isn’t addressed, it may result in panic attacks, anxiety, depression, addiction, declining quality of relationships and more.

 

Your feelings matter. If you feel like something is off, we can address this together. Let go of the “should’s” and let’s uncover what’s really preventing you from living a full and content life.

About Psychodynamic Counselling and Therapy

Psychodynamic Counselling is one of the most effective methods within contemporary talking therapy. It is based on the theory that interpersonal issues are (to an extent) a result of repressed emotions or negative life experiences.

 

With psychodynamic counselling, I can help you gain a deep understanding about why some difficulties re-occur in your life. We’ll begin to gently unravel and work through deep-rooted feelings to resolve them. Once you get a better understanding of your personal challenges, you’ll feel like you have a choice instead of reacting on autopilot.

 

This new sense of empowerment can change the way you see yourself, and others, which can change your actions, emotions and beliefs, and this can change your life.

 

According to a research published by the American Psychological Association, the benefits of psychodynamic therapy continue to grow after treatment has ended.

Online EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy: Healing from the Past

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps you heal from painful memories, anxiety, trauma, or loss — even when those experiences feel stuck or overwhelming.

Recommended by the NHS and WHO for treating PTSD, EMDR can also support healing from grief, low self-esteem, complex trauma, and more. It’s often used alongside counselling for deeper, long-lasting change.

How It Works

In session, you will hold a distressing memory in mind while following back-and-forth eye movements — similar to what happens during REM sleep. This helps your brain safely process and release emotional pain.

You stay fully awake and in control throughout. As treatment progresses, the emotional charge around the memory fades, often bringing relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of peace.

EMDR doesn’t erase memories — it helps you feel differently about them.

Benefits of Online Therapy

Geography is no longer a consideration; you can speak with your therapist from anywhere, providing you have internet access.

You save precious travelling-time. Additionally, you could save on travel and parking costs.

You get the full benefits of therapy from the convenience of your home.

Many people find it easier to open up and speak more freely in online sessions compared with in-person therapy.

Some like the anonymity of working with a non-local therapist, as this significantly reduces the likelihood of chance encounters in your local community.

Limited mobility and physical accessibility are no longer potential blocks for working with the right therapist for you and your needs.

How To Start Online Therapy

Book Your Free Consultation or Initial Session Online 

Taking that first step can be difficult and daunting; this is perfectly normal. After all, you are prioritising yourself, perhaps for the first time. 

Your Initial Online Therapy Session

Your initial online session will give you a sense of whether therapy is right for you. It is a non-judgmental space where you can begin to explore and make sense of personal experiences and difficulties in a calm, supportive and confidential environment.

You Decide If Ongoing Therapy Is Right For You

If you decide to engage with ongoing therapy, we will agree on a recurring weekly appointment, which will be yours for as long as you want it.
