Sometimes life can be tough and talking about the challenges and struggles we go through with our loved ones can be even more difficult and it can leave us feeling isolated and lonely. Asking for help is not easy and if you have not experienced counselling before you may find your self asking the question, do i need counselling? If you feel the need to gain insight and self awareness than counselling is a safe place for you to start your journey of self healing. We are living in the time of uncertainty and many of us are feeling stressed and anxious.It can be helpful to talk to a professional who can provide an outside perspective.
I will be able to offer you a space where you will feel free to express you feelings without the fear of being judged. Working together we can explore the ways to build up personal resilience, self acceptance and self confidence. I can give you the time to explore your concerns and help you gain insight in to yourself so you can make better choices in life.
I am offering you a space where i will try to see the world through your eyes and stand by you. I have supported women who have experienced domestic abuse and supported them in their journey. My Asian background enables me to provide an insight and understanding of overcoming cultural and religious difficulties

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.
