Ontro Therapy · Counselling and psychotherapy
Therapy arranged around your circumstances.
You may be dealing with something specific, noticing changes in how you feel or relate to others, carrying things that have gone unseen or unspoken, or simply wanting to understand yourself better.
Whatever brings you here, we can start with what’s important to you.
Some of the common reasons people seek support.
Living up to what family, culture, faith or society expects, being the one others lean on, or feeling judged or treated differently because of who you are.
Personal pressure · Culture · Faith · Racism
Pressure, long hours or a demanding role. It’s hard to switch off, and work follows you home.
Stress · Burnout · Career · Work-life balance
Something has changed, or a decision or change lies ahead. Your mind won’t settle, and worry starts to take over.
Anxiety · Worry · Overthinking · Change
Distance, tension or uncertainty with family, friends, a partner, colleagues or your wider community.
Family · Friends · Partner · Colleagues
Things from the past that still shape how you feel today, sometimes leaving you low, flat or withdrawn.
Low mood · Depression · Childhood · The past
A loss or bereavement, a sense that something is missing, or feeling stuck and not quite yourself, even if life looks fine from the outside.
Loss · Bereavement · Purpose · Feeling stuck
There’s no need to have everything worked out before you begin.
We approach the process through the relationships you have with yourself, with others and with your world.
Understanding yourself
Identity · Self-worth · Purpose · Values
Relationships & belonging
Partner · Family · Friends · Community
Work and life’s pressures
Work · Health · Society · Change
…or simply wanting space to talk and reflect.
Therapy isn’t only for when life feels uncertain, unsettled or out of balance. It can also be a place to recharge, replenish and reset where it matters.
My approach is centred on your relationships: with yourself, with others and with your world.
Together we can explore past experiences, present concerns and future uncertainties, and how family, culture, work and the expectations of others shape these relationships. This can help you understand what may feel unsettled and reset where it matters.
I work integratively, mainly with person-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential therapy, drawing on other approaches where they help. Whatever you bring is met with understanding, respect and no judgement.
When a relationship is causing distress, we can also look at the relationship as something in its own right: what’s straining it, and what you bring to it. My couples counselling training informs this, though I work with individuals rather than couples.
You don’t need to have all the answers before you begin.
One step at a time.
Tell me a little about what brings you here. You don’t need to explain everything. I’ll reply within two working days.
A 15-minute video call. It’s a conversation, not an assessment: ask questions and see how it feels to talk.
There’s no obligation to continue. If you’d like to book a session, we discuss what works for you.
Your first session can stand on its own. If we continue, we agree weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions and review how it’s working along the way.
Sessions are weekly, fortnightly or monthly. We agree the frequency at the start and review it together as the work develops.
A 15-minute video call: a conversation, not an assessment. No obligation to continue.

If you need any adjustments to make sessions accessible, just let me know.
Treated with respect and without judgement.
Family, culture, race and expectations can shape how we see ourselves and relate to others.
Whatever your background, there’s room to explore what these experiences mean to you, without having to set any part of yourself aside.
Perhaps a partner, friend or family member has been carrying a lot lately.
You’re welcome to share this page with them. They’re free to get in touch themselves, whenever they’re ready.
