- NCPS
I am a pluralistic therapist, which means that I trained in various modes of therapy practice as different approaches are useful for different issues and at different points in our lives. Every client-therapist relationship is unique and central to the counselling process, and it is important to me that all clients experience a non-judgemental and supportive space for exploring their lives. I have particularly worked with teenagers and in such areas as bereavement, spirituality, sexuality, gender issues, depression, trauma and anxiety. I have also trained in mindfulness and can offer helpful in-the-moment techniques that draw on the benefits of meditation and polyvagal theory. I like the existential approach which considers the person as a whole and is mindful of our physical, social, personal and spiritual worlds. I like working with clients weekly, although I see clients fortnightly and for monthly check-ins after a course of more intensive work.

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.
