Morag is a phenomenal listener! She makes me feel valued, supported, and is also genuinely concerned with my well-being. I feel like I can tell her anything and there is never any judgment. She is objective and it doesn't matter how crazy your brain feels, she is able to help make some sense out of it. Sessions with Morag have helped me to heal from past trauma and have helped me with my relationship as well. Would highly recommend booking a session in :)

Hi,I am Morag, a licensed therapist, I live in the UK and have over 14 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started and I look forward to working with you!
I am 49, have 2 grown up daughters, they don't need me anymore, are very independent unless they need hand washing done! I enjoy walking my 2 dogs, they are Hungarian Vizslas and love a really long walk. That is what I do in my spare time. I am very committed to my work and I look forward to working with you soon, online, by chat or via phone.

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.

She is objective and it doesn't matter how crazy your brain feels, she is able to help make some sense out of it.

Within 2 sessions Morag has significantly helped me and gave me perspective and insight that has drastically changed the way I think. She reminds me to be patience and be kind to yourself. The sessions don't feel intense and rushed, but more like talking to someone who wants to understand you and guide you to the person you know you can be. Highly recommend!
So far I have had 3 sessions with Morag . She is so easy to talk, kind and explains everything clearly . Morag always listens to me and I always feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders after each session . I would highly recommend Morag to everyone!
Morag is fantastic and always listens! She is understanding but helps to identify any stressors in life. Morag is on my side and makes me feel more confident as she realises the impact that other things have.
