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, 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.
