- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with many challenges, such as stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am trained in a variety of different approaches, such as person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, existential and Gestalt and I will tailor our discussions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to face challenges in our lives and seek out help to make changes. I consider it a privilege to support and empower you in that journey.

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.
