Psychotherapy

Also known as ‘talk therapy, psychotherapy is the treatment of mental health conditions by talking through complex emotional challenges with a trained professional, like me. 

 

Whether it’s an immediate issue or long-standing and complex, you’re welcome to speak openly in a supportive environment where I will always remain objective, neutral, and non-judgmental. 

​

I am trained and experienced in multiple psychotherapy modalities and provide short-term, medium-term and long-term psychotherapy. 

 

I help children and adults with:

 

  • Anxiety

  • Depression.

  • Child behavioural issues

  • Relationship issues

  • The transition to motherhood

  • Parental divorce

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Grief and loss

  • Personality disorders​

  • Postnatal Depression, Perimenopausal Depression (hormonal depression)

  • School issues, such as school refusal.

​

​

​

 

​What to expect from a session:
 
  • Psychotherapy can be conducted in an individual, family, couple, or group setting

  • Sessions are typically held once a week or twice a week.

  • Sessions should ideally be held consistently (at the same time and day for weekly therapy).

  • Both the patient and the therapist need to be actively involved for effective treatment

  • Psychotherapy can be short-term, to deal with immediate issues, or it can continue for months or years to treat long-standing and complex issues.

​​​​

A Safe Space

​

Psychotherapy is always confidential. While patients share personal feelings and thoughts, intimate physical contact with a therapist is never appropriate or acceptable. Building a trusting and respectful relationship between patient and therapist is key.
