I am a counsellor, psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and life-coach, with over ten year's experience. I work with a wide range of client groups and have experience supporting people with various issues including anxiety, depression, confidence, life-changes, emotional abuse, caring roles, work issues, OCD, ASD and more.
I provide a warm, professional, respectful and interactive approach as we work through your issues together. I believe that therapy can be a truly transformative experience and I provide a safe and supportive environment to help to empower you.
I work in a holistic way and my approach combines person-centered therapy, ecotherapy, CBT and solution-focused therapy. Each session will be tailored to your specific needs and I will make the process as easy and comfortable for you as possible.
Sessions will be a safe space to explore your issues, develop coping techniques and find a positive way forward.
Whether you are going through a difficult time or are wishing to make life changes and need some support, we can work together on this.
Take that first step today towards a brighter tomorrow. I look forward to working with you.

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.
