In my practice I provide a non-judgemental, empathic safe place for you to share whatever you need to.
The therapeutic relationship that you have with you counsellor is the most important aspect of therapy. This means that we will work together to build trust by going at your pace and with you setting the agenda of what we discuss.
I am a counsellor who really believes in the power of saying things out loud to another person. It sounds simple but it can be an incredibly difficult thing to do. Counselling gives you the opportunity to share these thoughts with someone without the worry of feeling like a 'burden' on those who you are the closest to or worried about what they may think.
I am an Integrative Counsellor: this means my approach can include a range of theories that will support you in understanding the reasons behind your feelings and behaviours. I really believe that the relationships we have had, whether that is from a parent, caregiver or someone who is important to us can really have an impact on our feelings and behaviours in the present. It is through talking about these relationships that the impact of them can be really understood. This can lead to the change that you want. At the heart of our sessions will be you and what you need from the session.

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.
