Welcome to my page at BetterHelp. It's Ok to talk.
I am a fully qualified counsellor registered with the BACP with over 4 years of professional work experience and seeking accreditation soon.
I have experience in helping clients with Depression and Anxiety, workplace burnout, stress, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, amongst other areas.
I have a motivational, pragmatic, solution based style, and I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
We can tailor a programme to suit your unique and specific needs. If you've never been to therapy before my Integrative training means I can use a variety of skills to suit the client, not fit the client to one specific area of expertise.
For those that know they want CBT, I am qualified to offer this on it's own - or as many actually prefer; blend it's greater coping skills/strategies/exercises into a more normal counselling session.
Taking the first step to seeking help can seem quite daunting but I try to make it something to actually look forward too.
My most recent experiences has been helping NHS professional staff in a time of crisis and I'm sure that they would testify to this.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
