She's been nothing but help and a great source of insight into my own struggles. An understanding and very open person who, despite having a client like me, someone very distrusting of therapy at first, has shown patience and compassion where others had not. I would recommend her to anyone who is new to therapy and is looking for more open-ended discussion towards their worldly views.

Building a trusting rapport with a therapist can be life changing and that's what I look forward to with clients. What I've experienced is that the healing process is sparked off and nurtured by the therapeutic relationship as it evolves over time. Therapy sessions give you the opportunity to express how you're feeling and what you're going through. This brings a sense of relief, catalysing insight and understanding. Here are some of the things that have come up in my work with people: conflicts in relationships and in families, remembering trauma from the past, panic attacks, self hatred, fertility issues, sexual abuse, feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, depression, grief and loneliness. Therapy has been part of my clients' journeys through these things and others to a sense of transformation. Here's my website if you'd like to take a look--www.brightcircletherapy.co.uk

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.
