Hello and thank you for reading my profile. Whatever issues you are facing, talking things through can help find a way to a more positive place for you.

I work as a person-centred counsellor and believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming those areas that feel challenging. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can feel daunting, I will always aim to provide a safe, open and non-judgemental space and work in a way that is warm, friendly and that goes at your pace.

I am a registered member of the BACP in the UK with 4 years of professional counselling experience helping clients with a range of issues. These have included stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem and confidence, career difficulties and depression, amongst other things.

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.
