Hello, I am Moira. I am a fully qualified therapist/counsellor with an MA in Theology and a Diploma in Counselling; registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

As a counsellor, I take a person centred approach, ensuring that I work with you to focus on your needs so that sessions are personalised, coordinated and empowering.

I work with clients with a range of mental health issues, such as depression, addiction, anxiety, stress, relationship issues (including couples therapy), bereavement, trauma, and other types of emotional pain.

I offer a confidential counselling service that is empathetic, non-judgmental and tailored to the client’s need.

About online counseling

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

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.
