More about Doris

- Female
- BACP
I am a UK based therapist, with more than 4 years professional work experience. I have experience with helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence.
I am also, very passionate about psychosocial issues, particularly culture and ethnicity.
Lived experiences are unique to each individual and can unconsciously influence how life is approached and lived. However, I believe that you are the expect of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming your challenges.
It takes courage to desire a more fulling and happier life and to seek the necessary help to achieving that. I therefore commend you for taking this initial step. And will provide you with that safe space and walk with you as you embark on this journey towards positive change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very empathetic therapist who is always willing to lend a listening ear.
I am thrilled to recommend Doris as an exceptional therapist. From the moment I join the video call, I'm greeted with a warm smile that immediately puts me at ease. Doris embodies a perfect blend of mindfulness, kindness, and professional insight. She has a remarkable ability to listen actively and intently, making you feel truly heard and understood. Her feedback is always personalized, reflecting a deep understanding of my unique experiences and life's hesitations. What sets Doris apart is her incredible balance between being a supportive therapist and a caring confidante. She knows precisely when to provide professional guidance and when to connect with me on a personal level, making each session feel both therapeutic and comforting. With Doris, I never feel isolated or alone in my struggles; instead, she creates a safe space where I feel genuinely supported and valued. Her thoughtful approach and genuine compassion have made a significant difference in my journey, and I am deeply grateful for her presence in my life. If you’re seeking a therapist who combines expertise with heartfelt empathy, Doris is truly a gem.
I am learning so much through my therapy sessions with Doris. She is always on time, attentive and empathic. She is curious and gently challenges me. She applies theory so well and she seamlessly combines psychodynamic tools with an understanding of different parts of my cultural and religious background. It is clear that she listens, identifying patterns from previous sessions and helping me to make meaning of my thoughts, feelings and experiences.
