Recent reviews
She's been nothing but help and a great source of insight into my own struggles. An understanding and very open person who, despite having a client like me, someone very distrusting of therapy at first, has shown patience and compassion where others had not. I would recommend her to anyone who is new to therapy and is looking for more open-ended discussion towards their worldly views.

Building a trusting rapport with a therapist can be life changing and that's what I look forward to with clients. What I've experienced is that the healing process is sparked off and nurtured by the therapeutic relationship as it evolves over time. Therapy sessions give you the opportunity to express how you're feeling and what you're going through. This brings a sense of relief, catalysing insight and understanding. Here are some of the things that have come up in my work with people: conflicts in relationships and in families, remembering trauma from the past, panic attacks, self hatred, fertility issues, sexual abuse, feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, depression, grief and loneliness. Therapy has been part of my clients' journeys through these things and others to a sense of transformation. Here's my website if you'd like to take a look--www.brightcircletherapy.co.uk

About online counseling

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.
