That’s completely understandable. For many people, being in the same room as their psychologist can feel grounding, especially when talking about difficult or personal experiences.
While my practice currently offers telehealth sessions only, many clients find that once we begin, it can still feel like a safe, supportive, and genuinely connected space to explore emotions, past experiences, and meaningful change.
Being in your own environment can sometimes make it easier to open up at your own pace, particularly if you have privacy and feel comfortable at home.
That said, it’s important that you choose the type of support that feels right for you. If having in-person sessions is something you need, I completely respect that and want you to access care that best meets your preferences.
If you’re open to trying telehealth, we could start with an initial session and simply see how it feels for you. There’s no pressure to continue and you’re welcome to take your time and decide what feels like the best fit.
Conditions and Concerns
Together, we can work on reflecting on factors that continue to impact you on a day to day basis as well as working on effective skills to learn how to respond in a more adaptive and helpful way.
-
Have things been feeling a bit heavier lately, like everything takes more effort than it used to? You might notice yourself withdrawing from others or saying no to plans, even when a part of you longs to stay connected.
At times, your mood may feel flat or a little all over the place, along with shifts in sleep, energy, or motivation that are hard to make sense of.
At times, you might feel more on edge or irritable and then sitting with a sense of guilt or regret afterwards.
-
Have you been carrying a lot , perhaps feeling the pull between your own needs and your cultural or family expectations? You might notice it’s hard to speak openly about how you’re feeling, or to prioritise yourself without guilt.
Perhaps you’ve been navigating questions of identity and belonging. At times, it can feel like you’re moving between different versions of yourself, depending on where you are and who you’re with.
You might have grown up in a family where love was shown through sacrifice, responsibility, or providing, rather than through words, affection, or emotional closeness. It might have felt ‘fine’ yet something important felt missing.
-
You might be having thoughts often drawn to food, eating, or body dissatisfaction, sometimes feeling stuck in a cycle that’s hard to step away from. You might notice guilt, anxiety, or strict rules around eating which dominates a lot of your time leaving you mentally exhausted.
Perhaps your eating patterns feel a little out of balance, at times restrictive, at times overwhelming, leaving you feeling disconnected from your body or unsure how to trust its signals.
-
Have you been feeling on edge or overwhelmed, with your mind constantly racing or stuck on “what if” thoughts? You might notice it’s hard to switch off, even when you want to relax.
Perhaps you find yourself avoiding certain situations or overthinking decisions, second-guessing yourself or expecting worse case scenario. At times, your body may feel tense, restless, or unsettled without a clear reason leaving you mentally and physically exhausted.
-
Perhaps the pain is unpredictable making it difficult to plan ahead or feel like yourself. You may also find yourself doing less or pushing through. These experiences might make you unsure of how to trust your body again while being fearful of re-injuries or flare ups.
-
Have you found this season of pregnancy or early parenthood bringing more emotional weight than you expected? You might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite like yourself, even in moments you thought would feel different.
Perhaps you’re holding a lot of pressure to be a certain kind of parent, alongside quiet self-doubt, guilt, or deep exhaustion. At times, it can feel hard to soften, slow your thoughts, or fully settle into the moment.
-
Have you been noticing that past experiences still feel close, showing up in your thoughts, emotions, or body in ways that are hard to shake? At times, you might feel on edge, feel a sense of dread or suddenly shut down.
Perhaps it’s been difficult to feel safe, trust others, or stay connected in relationships, even when part of you wants that closeness. You may also find yourself being overly critical of yourself and of others while carrying a sense of shame that’s hard to shift.
-
Have you been going through a change or transition that feels harder than you expected, leaving you feeling defeated? You might notice everyday things taking more effort than usual.
Perhaps you’re juggling competing demands while while managing uncertainty, loss, or pressure. At times, you may feel torn between how things were and how they are now, unsure of where you fit.
Therapy Modality
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
It is based on the premise that our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors, and by changing negative/unhelpful thought patterns, individuals can make positive changes in their emotional well-being and behavior.
-
CBT-E (Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is a structured, evidence-based psychological treatment designed specifically for people experiencing eating disorders.
It is an enhanced form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that targets the underlying patterns that maintain eating difficulties—such as strict dieting, binge eating, purging, and concerns about weight and shape.
CBT-E focuses on:
Developing regular and balanced eating patterns
Reducing unhelpful thoughts about food, body image, and self-worth
Addressing behaviours that keep the eating disorder going
Building skills to manage emotions and setbacks
This approach is collaborative, personalised, and time-limited. It aims not only to reduce symptoms but to support lasting change and a healthier relationship with food and body.
CBT-E is considered one of the leading treatments for a range of eating disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder.
-
SSCM (Specialist Supportive Clinical Management) is a structured, evidence-based therapy developed for individuals experiencing eating disorders, particularly Anorexia Nervosa.
SSCM combines practical support around eating and weight restoration with a supportive, person-centred therapeutic approach. Rather than focusing heavily on changing thoughts, it prioritises helping clients restore nutrition while also exploring the personal meaning and impact of the eating disorder in their life.
SSCM focuses on:
Establishing regular, adequate eating patterns
Supporting gradual weight restoration (where needed)
Addressing the physical and psychological effects of the eating disorder
Exploring life challenges, relationships, and emotional wellbeing
This approach is collaborative, flexible, and guided by the client’s priorities, helping them build motivation and confidence in recovery.
SSCM is recognised as an effective treatment option for eating disorders and is often offered alongside other supports as part of a comprehensive care plan.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) merges components of cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy and mindfulness strategies. The primary goal of ACT is to help individuals create a fulfilling and meaningful life while effectively managing the inevitable challenges of pain, hurt and stress.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on providing helpful skills in the domains of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
In doing so, DBT can open up more effective communication with others whilst supporting you to maintain self-respect and assertiveness.
-
Schema-Focused Therapy is an integrative, evidence-based psychological treatment that helps people understand and change long-standing patterns in thinking, feeling, and relating to others.
Developed by Jeffrey Young, Schema Therapy combines elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment theory, and experiential therapies to address “schemas”—deeply ingrained beliefs about oneself, others, and the world that often develop in childhood.
Schema Therapy focuses on:
Identifying unhelpful core beliefs (schemas) and coping patterns
Understanding how early life experiences shape current difficulties
Building healthier ways of meeting emotional needs
Strengthening a more compassionate and balanced sense of self
This approach is particularly helpful for individuals experiencing chronic difficulties such as relationship challenges, low self-worth, and longstanding emotional patterns. It is collaborative, emotionally focused, and aims to create lasting change by addressing the roots of distress rather than just the symptoms.
-
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based psychological treatment designed to help people manage and overcome Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
ERP is a specialised form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that works by gently and gradually exposing a person to situations, thoughts, or images that trigger anxiety (the “exposure”), while supporting them to resist engaging in compulsions or avoidance behaviours (the “response prevention”).
ERP focuses on:
Reducing the urge to perform compulsions
Building tolerance to anxiety and uncertainty
Challenging fear-based patterns through real-life practice
Increasing confidence in managing distress
Over time, ERP helps retrain the brain to recognise that feared outcomes are unlikely or manageable, leading to a reduction in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
This approach is collaborative, structured, and tailored to each individual, supporting long-term change and improved quality of life.
