In the modern world, many of us struggle to find meaning and IT IS OKAY NOT TO FEEL OKAY. Taking a step back and having a look at your own life is NOT indulgent. If it is, then why is it? Why is it indulgent to step back, reflect and to want 'more'? It is through self-exploration that we gets closer to WHO we really are. It is only when we can be who we truly are that happiness prevails. I have seen it many times.
During our time together, it is my job to pick up on what is missing, to challenge what isn't being said and to help you get to where you wish to be. If you are hesitant to reach out, be assured that counselling is an incredibly powerful approach in an ever changing world. Ask yourself this question: "What is stopping me?"
My training began with a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy before embarking on a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am a Member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and am currently working towards accreditation with the BACP. As part of my practice, I believe in continuous professional development (CPD). This helps me to support others in their own personal development across a wide range of contexts.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
