In the modern world, many of us struggle to find meaning and IT IS OKAY NOT TO FEEL OKAY. Taking a step back and having a look at your own life is NOT indulgent. If it is, then why is it? Why is it indulgent to step back, reflect and to want 'more'? It is through self-exploration that we gets closer to WHO we really are. It is only when we can be who we truly are that happiness prevails. I have seen it many times.
During our time together, it is my job to pick up on what is missing, to challenge what isn't being said and to help you get to where you wish to be. If you are hesitant to reach out, be assured that counselling is an incredibly powerful approach in an ever changing world. Ask yourself this question: "What is stopping me?"
My training began with a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy before embarking on a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am a Member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and am currently working towards accreditation with the BACP. As part of my practice, I believe in continuous professional development (CPD). This helps me to support others in their own personal development across a wide range of contexts.

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.
