How does it work?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based psychological treatment aimed at addressing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviours. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative or distorted thinking, with the goal of changing behaviour and emotional responses. CBT is widely used to treat various conditions, by teaching practical skills and coping strategies to manage symptoms and improve overall mental health. Sessions are goal-oriented and typically short-term, making it a highly effective therapy for many individuals.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences, distressing memories, or emotional difficulties. This process is thought to help rewire the brain's response to trauma, reducing the emotional intensity associated with the memory and enabling the individual to reprocess it in a healthier way. EMDR is commonly used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy is safe and uses guided relaxation to induce a focused, trance-like state where individuals are more receptive to positive suggestions. This therapeutic technique helps address issues such as anxiety, phobias, stress, and habit disorders by promoting lasting behavioural and emotional change, often in conjunction with other treatments.
Sessions & FAQs
Your well-being is my priority, and this space is completely judgment-free. Together, we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and every step we take will be guided by your goals and needs and by my professional experience in dealing with various Psychological and Emotional issues. You can feel confident that our time together will be focused on making meaningful progress in a confidential and supportive environment.
In each session you can express yourself openly and freely, while your privacy is fully protected. I am deeply committed to you, and I adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure that you feel safe, respected, valued, validated and supported throughout your therapy journey.
The frequency of therapy sessions depends on your needs and preferences. Sessions are typically held weekly, but some clients opt for bi-weekly or monthly sessions. We'll adjust the schedule based on what works best for you and your therapy goals.
The length of therapy also varies, depending on your goals and the pace that feels right for you. Some clients find short-term therapy over a few weeks or months sufficient, while others prefer long-term support to explore deeper issues. We'll regularly assess progress to ensure therapy is meeting your needs and adjust as needed.
Next steps involve scheduling your first session, where we’ll discuss your goals and create a personalized plan. Throughout the process, we’ll regularly check in to ensure the approach is effective and make any necessary adjustments. If you’re ready, we can schedule that first session

Online therapy has been shown to be highly effective for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and more. Numerous studies indicate that its efficacy is comparable to in-person therapy, particularly for talk-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR and Hypnotherapy.
One of the key benefits of online therapy is its accessibility and convenience, allowing clients to receive support from the comfort of their own space, which can make it easier to attend regular sessions. The ability to choose a comfortable, private setting can also reduce barriers, helping some clients feel more relaxed and open during sessions.
