Are you overwhelmed by negative thoughts, self-doubt, or anxiety? Do you feel stuck in patterns of avoidance or hopelessness?
I specialise in helping individuals regain control over their actions by providing practical, effective tools tailored to their unique needs.
Through our sessions, you will:
Gain Clarity and Insight: We’ll explore the root causes behind your unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together, we’ll identify patterns that keep you stuck and develop strategies to break free.
For instance, if social anxiety is holding you back, we’ll uncover the thoughts and emotions driving it and how they affect your life.
Build Your Personal Toolkit: I’ll guide you in creating a set of personalized techniques to manage challenges and reset your focus. By grounding yourself in your conscious mind, you’ll be empowered to respond to difficult emotions with self-compassion, making lasting positive changes.
Live in Alignment with Your Core Values: We’ll discover what truly matters to you, using your values as a compass to guide decisions and actions. By aligning your life with your values, you’ll find greater fulfilment, confidence, and purpose.
About Me:
With over 16 years of experience as a behavioral change coach and accredited therapist, I specialise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), two proven approaches backed by extensive research. My goal is to empower clients to overcome anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges so they can thrive.
As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I uphold the highest professional standards. I also regularly pursue advanced training and supervision to ensure my practice is always evolving.
Take the first step towards a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Together, we’ll work on managing your thoughts and emotions so you can move forward with confidence and self-compassion.

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.
