      <image:title>Why Therapy? - Why Therapy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Everyone faces difficulties — whether big or small, old or new, chronic or acute. Therapy can help you understand and work through those difficulties, in the safety of an empathic relationship where you will be heard and valued. I use various evidence-based schools of psychotherapy, as well as insights from neuroscience, to work with you in managing life’s challenges, exploring your inner workings, and charting a path forward. Therapy provides a place to uncover and accept all of our feelings and experiences — even the ones we may have kept hidden from ourselves — allowing us to live with greater purpose, resilience, and meaning. Therapy is an investment in yourself. Studies consistently show that therapy is an effective way to alleviate distress, gain understanding, and forge skills and insights that facilitate lasting change.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - About me.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born and raised in the United States, I spent several years working as a corporate lawyer in New York before relocating to the UK and training as a psychotherapist.  I also have experience teaching English as a foreign language, and working with refugees and asylum seekers in various voluntary capacities. I have lived in several countries around the world, and bring an open-minded, non-judgmental, and empathic perspective to each of my clients, regardless of background or life experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - How I work.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am integrative psychotherapist, which means that I can draw on a variety of therapeutic traditions — including psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) — in our work together. Working collaboratively with you, we are able to craft a therapeutic relationship that meets your individual needs, goals, and personality. I have a particular interest in existential therapy and in compassion-focused therapy, which are suitable for a wide variety of presenting issues.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Therapy from the convenience of your home. I offer therapy remotely, allowing you the flexibility to attend our sessions from the comfort of your own home. Research shows that remote therapy is just as effective as the face to face alternative, and provides clients who might otherwise not be able to readily access therapy the ability to do so — wherever they live in the UK. I am trained in online counselling, and am able to provide a service that is equivalent in all key respects to in-person counselling.</image:title>
