There are moments in therapy that may feel like the deep comfort of speaking with a close friend—where ease and trust foster a natural flow of conversation. However, there are also some real differences. It is a dedicated time and space, solely for you, where your thoughts, emotions, and experiences take centre stage, free from the concern of burdening another, holding back or saying too much.

Therapy, as I see it, is not about fixing or directing but about helping you forge a deeper connection with yourself. It's a space that’s both accepting and challenging where, if you feel safe enough to welcome me into your journey, the therapeutic relationship can evolve into something truly special—a place of connection, compassion and self-discovery.

Yes! Many years of research now confirms that virtual psychotherapy sessions, while different in format, can be just as powerful and effective as in-person therapy. The essence of therapy—the connection, insight, and support—remains intact, whether face-to-face or through a screen. In fact, the flexibility of virtual sessions can often enhance the therapeutic process, allowing you to engage from the comfort of your own space, wherever that may be, and eliminating the barriers of distance or time constraints.

Much like in an office, the virtual therapy space is a safe and private environment where you can speak freely and feel heard. I bring the same level of presence, empathy, and focus to our online meetings, creating a meaningful and authentic connection that fosters trust and understanding.
