I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. My journey in mental health began over a decade ago, and it's been a rewarding path that's taken me from the UK to Australia, working with diverse communities and individuals along the way.
My career started at the Northeast London Foundation NHS Trust UK, where I worked as a Mental Health Social Worker. This role taught me the importance of seeing each person as a whole – not just their diagnosis.
I've had the privilege of working with individuals facing severe and enduring mental health conditions, and each client has taught me something valuable about resilience and the human spirit.
I'm committed to staying up to date with the latest evidence-based treatments. But I also believe that you are the expert of your own story. My role is to support you, to help you recognize your strengths, and to guide you towards the changes you want to make in your life.
My approach to therapy is holistic and warm. I consider all aspects of your life – physical, psychological, social, cultural, and material – because I know that mental wellness doesn't exist in a vacuum. Whether you're a child, a family member, an older adult, or someone dealing with disability, mental illness, or cognitive impairments, I'm here to listen without judgment and to work with you towards your goals.
Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling life takes courage, and I'm honored to support you in that process. I look forward to getting to know you, understanding your unique story, and working together to help you overcome the challenges you're facing. Remember, you have many strengths within you – sometimes we just need a little help to recognize and use them effectively.

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.

- 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.
