Hello, my name is Dee Critoph. As an experienced and registered Psychotherapist, I have worked with a diverse range of people struggling with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, feelings of sadness, loneliness and emptiness, low self-esteem and confidence, feelings of guilt & shame, and difficulties in relating to self and others.

I have worked as a therapist in various charitable organisations, but my primary focus is my private practice. I aim to provide a reflective space where you can talk, think and explore whatever is on your mind in a safe and confidential environment.
