I understand that taking the first step to reach out for counselling can take courage and might be daunting. I offer a warm and supportive environment for you to comfortably explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, enabling you to navigate life's challenges.
I have experience in working with a range of presenting issues including, and not limited to; relationship issues, anxiety and depression, family conflicts, addiction, trauma and coping with grief and loss.
As a Person Centred Integrative Counsellor, I work in a relational way, providing a safe, non judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a confidential environment. My approach focuses on building a trusted relationship, offering a reflective space to enable you to become self-aware and confident to explore your presenting issues, encouraging your personal growth in feeling able to make decisions that are right for you. I value everyone as a unique individual, therefore I work with different theories and adapt these to meet your individual needs. I will be travelling through your personal journey with you, so there is a sense of continual togetherness through the process.
We will regularly review how things are going, to check that we are working in the right way for 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.
