Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist.
I am a BACP registered therapist, fully qualified with a degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling. I also have additional training in grief and bereavement, enhancing my capacity to stand with you in times of profound loss and sadness.
Working with both adults across all age spectrums and young people aged 16+, I am dedicated to provide you with a warm, calm and secure environment where you can share, reflect and explore things that might be unsettling you.
As an integrative therapist my approach is fluid, interweaving various therapeutic theories and methods to finely tune our sessions to your unique needs. Central to the heart of my practice lies the belief in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

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.
