In my practice I provide a non-judgemental, empathic safe place for you to share whatever you need to.
The therapeutic relationship that you have with you counsellor is the most important aspect of therapy. This means that we will work together to build trust by going at your pace and with you setting the agenda of what we discuss.
I am a counsellor who really believes in the power of saying things out loud to another person. It sounds simple but it can be an incredibly difficult thing to do. Counselling gives you the opportunity to share these thoughts with someone without the worry of feeling like a 'burden' on those who you are the closest to or worried about what they may think.
I am an Integrative Counsellor: this means my approach can include a range of theories that will support you in understanding the reasons behind your feelings and behaviours. I really believe that the relationships we have had, whether that is from a parent, caregiver or someone who is important to us can really have an impact on our feelings and behaviours in the present. It is through talking about these relationships that the impact of them can be really understood. This can lead to the change that you want. At the heart of our sessions will be you and what you need from the session.

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.
