Life can be a battle, Counselling can be a difficult journey, however once you make the decision to begin your journey of self-discovery, this can enhance your quality of life and better your coping skills.

My name is Darren and with us working together can help you achieve this to your greatest potential and have you feeling confident and positive on how to navigate what life throws your way.

You are now probably thinking how can we achieve this! We can achieve this by talking honestly in a non-judgmental environment and exploring emotional problems which can help us to identify negative repetitive patterns that are self-destructive.

My style of working is person-centred where you are able to choose the direction of the therapy for yourself in a comfortable, non-judgemental environment with myself showing geniuiness and empathic understanding with you having the freedom to talk about your problems in a supportive and faciliative atmosphere.

My training is primarily person-centred with also being able to work integratively where we can explore tools and strategies to suit the client needs. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and follow their Ethical Framework for good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy to which i maintain to a high level.

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.
