Thank you for viewing my profile. Choosing the right counsellor is really important but can also be a daunting process. Read on for a little about me to help with your choice.
In counselling I aim to provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings without the fear of judgment or opinion. I will be by your side as you explore feelings whether these are from the past, present or future. I primarily work in a person centred way following your lead on what you want to explore, using various techniques from my integrative training to help us explore in different ways that suit you.
I’m a qualified BACP accredited counsellor MBACP (accred). I qualified in Person Centred counselling back in 2006 & as an Integrative counsellor more recently in 2020.
I have experience of counselling young people of college age & above, people with addiction issues, individuals with mental health issues & people who are exploring their gender identity & possible transition. I also have a lot of experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals. I currently volunteer for a charity who supports transgender people, their families and close friends. In addition I have a small private counselling service. I also work for a supported employment service who supports individuals with various barriers to find & retain employment.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
