Perhaps you’re struggling to bring about meaningful change, or past experiences are weighing you down?

It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or lost- you're not alone.

I’m here to help.

Therapy offers a safe space for us to explore what’s holding you back.

Together, we’ll gently uncover the sources of your difficulties, understand where you feel stuck, and discover new paths forward.

My approach is all about working together to help you regain control, one step at a time.

What does the process look like?

Stage 1: Exploration and Awareness

This is like getting to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy. What are your goals? What are you hoping to achieve? I'll listen carefully and ask questions to help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Stage 2: Insight and Understanding

This is where we start to dig deeper. We'll explore the reasons behind your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Why do you think or feel a certain way? What has shaped your beliefs and patterns? By understanding these things, we can start to see the bigger picture.

Stage 3: Change and Growth

This is where the real transformation happens. We'll work together to develop new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This might involve learning new skills, challenging old beliefs, or trying out new things. It's like exploring new paths and finding what works best for you.

Stage 4: Consolidation and Ending

This is the final stage where we review your progress and celebrate your achievements. We'll also discuss how to maintain the positive changes you've made and prepare for the future. It's like looking back on your journey and planning for the next steps.

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.
