Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
As an experienced integrative psychodynamic counsellor, I provide a warm, non-judgemental and compassionate space for you to work through any difficult thoughts, feelings and events in your life. Integrative and psychodynamic model is a verified and established method of therapy for successfully healing mental and emotional distress. Within this framework, individuals gradually become more aware of aspects previously outside of their awareness. Opening up to talk about your past or the places in your life where you feel stuck can be difficult but, just by coming here, you’ve already taken the first step.
I use a range of modalities, such as psychodynamic, humanistic, trauma-informed, body psychotherapy, CBT, Gestalt, working with inner child to build the therapy around you and what you need. My therapy reflects that, working with all aspects of who you are as a person.
Therapy is a process that requires commitment, patience, and a wish to change. Sessions will be conducted weekly for fifty minutes. Depending on availability and need this can be increased to meeting more frequently. The focus will be on whatever is on your mind, no matter how trivial.
I believe that finding the right therapist for you is incredibly important to allow you to feel comfortable enough to get the most out of therapy. Our first session will therefore be an opportunity for us both to get to know each other; for you to tell me about what’s brought you to therapy and to learn more about how I work as a therapist. If it feels like I’m the right person for you we can then decide the best way to work together.
I have worked in a variety of mental health and therapeutic settings, supporting individuals struggling with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, abuse, social anxiety, feeling sad, anger managment, trauma, relationship issues, family issues, stress, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem and many more.

She works within an integrative psychodynamic framework that helps people become more aware of patterns and experiences that were previously outside their awareness.
Opening up about the past or the places in life where someone feels stuck can be hard, and Barbara recognises that taking the first step to attend therapy is significant. She draws on several approaches – including psychodynamic, humanistic, trauma-informed practice, body psychotherapy, CBT, Gestalt work and inner child work – to shape therapy around each person and their needs.
Barbara views therapy as a process that requires commitment, patience and a readiness to change. Sessions are typically held weekly for fifty minutes, and can be increased in frequency depending on availability and need. The focus in sessions is guided by whatever is on the client’s mind, no matter how trivial it may seem.
The initial appointment is an opportunity for both Barbara and the client to get to know one another, to discuss what has brought the client to therapy and to learn how Barbara works. If it feels like a good match, she and the client will agree the best way to continue working together.
She has worked in a variety of mental health and therapeutic settings, supporting people facing a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, abuse, social anxiety, persistent sadness, anger management, trauma, relationship and family issues, stress, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem and related concerns.

Many people ask whether online therapy really helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
All therapists offering these services are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit.
