Mr Tidal Grace, MA

I work exclusively online, audio-only, with no camera. That's a deliberate clinical choice. For clients dealing with dissociation, depersonalization, or living in regions where privacy matters, the absence of a camera changes what becomes possible in the room. You can close your eyes, lie down, or talk while walking. The work is about what's happening inside you, not how you look while doing it. I'm Canadian and British, trained integratively at the University of British Columbia, and now based in Hamburg. I've spent years specializing in depersonalization and derealization, a condition that's widely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed. I've written two books about it: The Floor Beneath the Floor is a personal memoir of living with severe DPDR, and Reclaiming Reality is a clinical guide for therapists and clients. I also developed an audio course, DP/DR First-Aid, for people working through DPDR on their own. Beyond DPDR, I work with anxiety, complex trauma, long-standing relationship patterns, and the quiet depressions that don't always look like depression from the outside. My clients come from across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia, often from places where the right therapist simply isn't locally available. I also offer Relationship Clarity Sessions for couples: 80-minute audio-only sessions designed to interrupt the repeating patterns most couples get stuck in. The goal is not to save the relationship at all costs. The goal is clarity. Sometimes that leads to repair, sometimes to a conscious, respectful separation. I draw on Internal Family Systems and Gestalt to slow the couple's interaction down so both partners can see what is actually driving their loop. I'm also an artist and writer. That shapes how I listen. I pay attention to language, to what lies beneath what's being said, to the parts of your experience that don't fit the usual categories. All sessions are conducted in English. My German vocabulary is extensive, so if you're more comfortable saying something in German, I'll understand it and we'll find the English together.
