Welcome to my practice. I am a registered clinical psychologist, offering long and short term psychotherapy to adults and couples. My clients present with a wide range of issues and challenges. Often, life transitions and changes like the loss of a relationship or job, becoming a parent, ageing and menopause, separation, and immigration are the impetus for seeking therapy. At other times, it might be difficulties in relationships, depression, low mood, anxiety or stress. I view issues and challenges brought to therapy through a holistic lens and believe that body, mind and spirit are all equally important for optimal well-being.

On your best days, you want to and believe you can change the world, that is why you went into a helping profession. You are dedicated to your work caring for others. But it is hard work, and sometimes you struggle. Recently it feels like it has been more struggle than changing the world. You are beginning to wonder about burnout - does that explain your exhaustion? The stresses and strains of the global pandemic have taken their toll. Your work demands are overwhelming and you carry cares and worries for your clients home with you, and carry cares and worries about your family to work with you. You wonder about your career.

It can be really difficult to share your deepest concerns, fears and issues. It takes a lot of courage to make yourself vulnerable in this way; trusting another person with your ‘stuff’ can feel deeply uncomfortable and risky. With this in mind, I do my best to build a relationship with you (and your partner or partners) – in which you feel safe, accepted and respected. No matter why you have come to therapy, or what you may share during each session, my role is to try to help you – not judge you.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
