It took me a really long time to find the strength to seek therapy, so I was understandably very nervous about the whole thing. But now that I’ve had a few sessions I feel it’s beneficial, I feel heard and my therapist is really helping me to explore thoughts and feelings I hadn’t considered. I’d really recommend that anyone thinking about it should try and go at least once, it could be a positive change for them too.

- BACP
I am a humanistic counsellor and am registered with BACP. As well as working privately, I have volunteered for various counselling organisations, including a bereavement setting for 3 years and an LGBT+ organisation.
I offer you accepting and warm support to explore different aspects of yourself. I believe that talking with someone in a non judgemental space increases awareness of how you interact with the world, others or even yourself. Anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, identity issues and loss are just some of the varying issues I have worked with. Together we can explore ways of you feeling less overwhelmed. As a humanistic counsellor, I believe that we are all uniquely different and will adapt my way of working to who you are.
I have a background in working within the health sector, specifically in a cancer setting. I have some understanding of how physical health can affect mental wellbeing. My background of working within a health sector also informs my practice as a counsellor. I am passionate about providing mental health support for those who are experiencing menopausal or hormonal changes within their bodies.
I have limited evening session availability

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
