I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor. This approach is fantastic to explore why you think, feel, and behave in the way you do, and the impact of past relationships on your current self. I have worked with people for over 20 years and qualified as a therapist 5 years ago. I have specialised in trauma and it’s impacts, and also relationship issues.

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.
