Great experience online. She really listens and understood how anxiety was taking over my life. Over the weeks I’ve understood what’s happening and found new ways of coping. I can finally live the life I wanted!

Are you feeling stuck in your relationships - whether at work, in your family, or with your partner? Do you struggle with low self-esteem, people-pleasing, or repeating patterns that leave you feeling unheard, exhausted, or disconnected? Maybe neurodiversity plays a role in your life, and you're navigating the challenges and strengths that come with ADHD or Autism, either for yourself or a loved one. Many clients face work stress, family conflict, or self-esteem struggles. I help you gain clarity, set boundaries, and build stronger connections enabling you to embrace who they are and build an authentic, fulfilling life.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on blend of theoretical approaches to help you understand how past experiences shape your present, empowering you to make informed choices. I can support you to understand and address challenges in communication or perhaps support emotional regulation through mindfulness or CBT to explore, challenge and change behaviour.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, or difficulties in relationships, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore what’s holding you back. If you’re ready to break free from unhelpful patterns, build self-confidence, and improve your relationships, I’d love to support you. Get in touch today.

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.
