Are you struggling with low mood, anxiety, feelings of guilt, or feel overwhelmed and stuck? Are you seeking clarity and feel restricted by current or past problems? Or you might want to work on personal growth and feel more in charge of your life? With over 15 years experience as a counsellor, I offer evidence based therapy with a human touch. Specializing in therapy for low mood/depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, self criticism, PTSD, self-esteem, sexuality and cultural issues, personal growth and development. I can help you work on your relationship with yourself and explore what is getting in the way of living the life you want.

I tailor therapy to suit your needs. My approach is based on in-depth research and evidence from clinical practice. Sessions with me won't involve "just talking about the problem" but more specific ways to help you move towards your goals by offering new perspectives and at times, gentle challenges. I also work in the NHS as a Counselling Psychologist and I am a lecturer at the University of Leeds.

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.
