I've tried Therapy before but I feel like this time Bar is finding a way to make sure it works for me which hasn't happened before with other people. She's also really good at adapting sessions around what's happened to me that week - even when it's very unexpected events.

- NCPS
I am registered in the UK with the NCPS and NCH and have 8 years of professional work experience. I am a Pluralistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Cognitive Hypnotherapist and NLP master practitioner. Depending on each clients requirements, I practice from both a Person Centred perspective and Solution Focused. Practicing pluralistically enables a collaborative adaptive approach to our work together.
I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence and depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
