Are you seeking a safe and supportive space to navigate life's challenges? Look no further. I am a dedicated and empathetic counsellor with a passion for helping individuals like you achieve their fullest potential. I have a strong background in psychology and counselling, and I have completed over 7 years of study in this field. I hold an accredited degree in integrative counselling and have over two years experience as a volunteer counsellor with the NHS in a GP setting. I have seen a variety of clients of different backgrounds, and presenting issues. Counselling isn’t just a profession to me, being in a helping role and seeing moments of awareness and change in my clients is the most rewarding and touching feeling.
My personal way of working is founded in person centred approach- I believe you are the expert in your life and experience, and by taking the time to focus on you and truly understand you, you will be offered a genuinely warm, safe and non-judgmental environment which will feel strong and allow me to really see you, and for you to see yourself. From my experience and studies, I am also a strong believer in psychodynamic work and how what has happened in our past in some way links to what is going on for you currently and that we follow relational, emotional, and behavioural patterns that we learned to support ourselves at one point in our life that we still may be taking forward even if this no longer serves us . I will take opportunities for us to explore these links which can offer you clarity, awareness, and a deeper understanding of what is going on for you. I love the phrase ‘awareness is power’, as once we are able to get in touch with and uncover where we are, we can’t unsee it. We then have the power that we may have felt we have lost to be able to work through and make profound changes in our lives. I am experienced in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

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.
