I am credentialed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with adults, young people (9-18) parents and carers, Many of whom are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems or low self esteem.

Most of us will experience at least one of these issues during our lifetime. My gentle and caring approach to counselling will help you to explore your thoughts and feelings and find out what is holding you back from leading your best life.

I am qualified to Level 4 Diploma in Psychodynamic and Person Centred Counselling with an additional Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People. My approach is client centred, I put a lot of emphasis on nurturing the 'therapeutic relationship' and I often incorporate mindfulness and creative strategies for best results. I am considered gentle in my approach and always supportive, ensuring the needs of my clients are being met at all times. 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.

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.
