Through personal experience, I understand how difficult it can be to find the right kind of help and support.
I am a integrative Counsellor / Psychotherapist, this means I work with you, and draw from a number of theoretical models that allows me to tailor the way I work and focus on client-based solutions. I offer a safe space, online or by telephone with a non-judgmental attitude, and a genuine and empathic, client focused session where together we can begin to understand issues, that you, the client wishes to discuss.
I work in a way that supports the client and will adapt to suit your needs, whether that be solution focused or in a relaxed and more open ended way addressing your issues and exploring solutions along the way and at your pace.

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.
