Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist.

I am a BACP registered therapist, fully qualified with a degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling. I also have additional training in grief and bereavement, enhancing my capacity to stand with you in times of profound loss and sadness.

Working with both adults across all age spectrums and young people aged 16+, I am dedicated to provide you with a warm, calm and secure environment where you can share, reflect and explore things that might be unsettling you.

As an integrative therapist my approach is fluid, interweaving various therapeutic theories and methods to finely tune our sessions to your unique needs. Central to the heart of my practice lies the belief in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship.

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.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
