People often search for a counsellor because they want help to cope differently. It may be that you feel that right now you aren't coping at all. In seeking a counsellor you are already beginning to trust in the idea that you can find a way through the challenges you face.
I am a BACP registered counsellor, group facilitator and counselling skills lecturer. I am passionate about helping people to build their own tools for navigating difficulties and building resilient mental health. I have over 11 years of professional work experience with particular skills in helping young people and anger management. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
