I'd tried therapy before and just never got one with it. I thought it probably just wasn't for me. I gave it one more go with Better Help and was connected with Alys. Alys has been amazing. She listens deeply, helps me engage with and work through my emotions, and teaches me how to be present with myself. It was a lot for me at first but I'm so glad I continued. Alys is really patient and understanding, and offers material outside of our sessions to help me. She sends kind and thoughtful "check-in" messages, and I feel that she is genuinely concerned for me and wants to help. She is extremely professional, always on time, open and honest. She provides objectivity and perspective, whilst completely acknowledging my position. I've made so much progress with Alys and would definitely recommend her to anyone else.

More about Alys

After 25 years of being a UK credentialed counsellor, mentor and psychotherapist and working with thousands of clients, I have developed skills, tools and strategies to create emotional resilience whilst transmuting debilitating challenges and creating personal transformation. These strategies help us to turn towards ourselves with gentleness and warmth, rather than away from ourselves with criticism and self contempt.
I would love to support you and accompany you in whatever is happening for you right now....
No matter what you’re feeling, we can find a way through this together, so you can gain the lasting changes you are longing for. I am interested in you and what you bring to our space together. I will really listen to understand you, helping you make sense of your feelings and thoughts, come as you are, with all your messiness.
I will create a safe space where our sessions together will invite real, open and heartfelt conversations where you can tune into yourself, share your feelings, thoughts, dreams and desires which is rarely available in everyday life. The safety of the sessions can free you to speak in an unfiltered way from your heart, sharing often what you may never have shared before, so that together we can bring healing to those unseen, often unheard parts. The relationships I hold with the beautiful people I work with brings deep healing, growing courage in their voices and in an allowance of their own realness.
I have vast experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, & intimacy related issues. 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. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and very much look forward to journeying along side 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.
