I have never used therapy before, she was very welcoming and really listens to all my concerns. I couldn't say a bad thing about her and I could write reams and reams about how supportive and affirming she is, but I'd probably say her dedication to making sure that I feel better and take care of myself after a session is such an amazing consideration on her part. :)

- BACP
I am licensed BACP counsellor in the UK with 3 years of professional counselling experience and I work within the Person-Centred model. I work with teenagers, young people and adults. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression and coping with grief and loss. I also have experience working with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

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.
