My therapy style is person centred with an integrative way of working which means I offer you a warm compassionate safe and non judgemental space, drawing on a varied range of therapeutic approaches and techniques to support your needs. It may be that your unsure of what is exactly causing you difficulty at the moment, that's ok, Whatever is going on for you I believe you hold the answers and I can support you in exploring ways to making the change you want.

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.
