Starting therapy often begins with one question: screen or room? Here’s what the research says about online and in-person therapy, where each format can help, and some questions to help you decide what suits you.

Emigrar puede cambiar tu sentido de identidad, pertenencia e incluso la forma en que expresas tus emociones. Si estás pensando en empezar terapia, ¿es mejor elegir a alguien que comparta tu idioma y cultura o a alguien que entienda tu vida en el Reino Unido? A partir de la investigación y de mi experiencia como inmigrante y terapeuta, exploro cómo el idioma, la cultura y el lugar influyen en la relación terapéutica.

Moving to another country can change your sense of identity, belonging and even how you express your feelings. If you’re considering therapy, should you choose a therapist who shares your language and culture, or someone who understands your life in the UK? Drawing on research and my experience as an immigrant and therapist, I explore how language, culture and place can shape the therapeutic relationship.

Counselling and psychotherapy are often used interchangeably, but they aren’t quite the same. Learn how they differ in training, personal development and the complexity of the work, and how to decide which is right for you.

Many of the ways we cope were learned in childhood, and they worked at the time. But like a wooly jumper in summer, they can become itchy and uncomfortable once circumstances change.

Millions of people are already turning to AI for emotional support, and it's meeting real needs. But it can't replace what happens between two people in a room. Here's why I think the answer to "AI or human therapy?" isn't either/or.

There's a question that sits underneath almost every first session: how long until this stops hurting? It's completely understandable — but it often comes from expecting therapy to work like a quick fix. In this post, I look at why that expectation exists, why the relationship with your therapist matters more than any app or approach, and why feeling worse sometimes comes before feeling better.

Standard self-help advice and rigid therapeutic exercises often assume a certain kind of mind, one that isn't neurodivergent or highly analytical. This piece looks at why that advice can fall flat, what the "double empathy problem" reveals about the therapy room, and what a genuinely affirming space looks like instead.

Anyone in the UK can legally call themselves a therapist. With more choice than ever, finding the right one has never been harder. Here's how to check credentials properly, why reviews won't help, and why fit matters more than technique.
