Online Therapy for Women
Relational psychodynamic counselling, wherever you are in the UK
You may not be near Loughton.
But that undercurrent of pressure — the exhaustion that rest doesn't quite touch, the self-doubt that doesn't match your achievements — doesn't require a commute to begin understanding.
I offer online relational psychodynamic counselling for women across the UK who are used to managing alone, but are beginning to sense the quiet cost of that over time.
How Online Therapy Works
Sessions take place via video call, at the same time each week.
You'll need a private space — somewhere you can speak without interruption — and a reliable internet connection.
Everything else remains the same as in-person work: the same pace, the same depth, the same quality of attention.
Many women find that online therapy fits more naturally into their lives than they expected. There's no travel, no commute, and no adjusting your schedule around getting somewhere. The session simply begins — and ends — where you are.
You can read more about how I work on the Work With Me page.
Is Online Therapy as Effective?
This is one of the most common questions I'm asked.
For relational psychodynamic work, what matters most is consistency and the quality of the therapeutic relationship — not the medium.
Many clients find that online sessions feel surprisingly connected. With the same therapist, at the same time each week, something steady builds — regardless of distance.
That said, online therapy may not suit everyone. If you're unsure whether it would work for you, we can explore this together during the initial consultation.
Who Might Choose Online Therapy?
Online counselling tends to suit women who:
live outside the Epping and Loughton area but want this kind of relational, depth-focused work
have demanding or unpredictable schedules that make commuting impractical
travel regularly for work and need flexibility
feel more at ease beginning therapy from a familiar, private space
have previously found geography to be a barrier to accessing therapy
If any of these feel familiar, online therapy may offer a way in.
What We Might Explore Together?
The work online is no different in focus from in-person sessions.
Together we may begin to understand:
the emotional patterns that have quietly shaped how you cope
who you carry so much responsibility, and what that has cost you
where self-criticism first took root — and how it still shows up now
how early relationships continue to influence how you feel in the present
what it might feel like to relate to yourself with a little more ease

Why This Approach?
Relational psychodynamic counselling isn't about techniques or quick fixes.
It's about understanding.
This approach looks beneath the surface of current difficulties to make sense of longer-standing patterns — particularly how you've learned to relate to yourself and to others. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes part of that understanding, which is why the consistency of meeting regularly, at the same time, matters — whether that's in person or online.
Many of the women I work with describe themselves as capable, outwardly together, and privately exhausted by the effort of it.
If that resonates, this kind of work may offer something different.

Ready to take the first step?
Reaching out can feel like the hardest part — especially when you're someone who is used to managing without help.
You don't need to know exactly what you want to say. You don't need a clear problem or a defined reason.
If something in what you've read feels familiar, that is enough to begin.
No pressure. Just a first conversation.
