I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I welcome each client with their unique experience to work together from an integrative approach to counselling.
I offer a safe, warm and empathetic therapeutic environment where you can explore your issues, work through any struggles you're dealing with, look at ways, techniques and tools you can use to move towards a more content, calmer, more confident you.
I work with people from diverse backgrounds and on a multitude of mental health issues and personal struggles. These can range from struggling with anxiety (including panic attacks) and/or depression (including low mood, feeling sad, suicidal thinking) to dealing with stress (in your professional and personal life), burnout, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem and low self-confidence.
I work integratively using the foundations of person-centred therapy together with elements from a number of other humanistic therapies. This allows me to tailor the therapeutic work to your needs and personality. My approach is non-directive which means that I will stand by your side, listen carefully in a non-judgemental way to your concerns, thoughts and feelings. You have my genuine support and, throughout therapy, I encourage self-acceptance, compassion to self and identifying your own inner resources.
When I'm not working and supporting others, I like to stay active by going to the gym, playing tennis or going on long walks with my dog. I enjoy spending a lot of my free time with my partner and with friends, and try to keep in touch with my family abroad. In the midst of all the activities and to-do's on my weekly schedule, I make sure I have some "alone time" as well, to ground myself by reading, resting, listening to music, and doing as little as possible.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and content life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I look forward to working with you.

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.
