I've only had one session so far with Virginia, however her manner during our session was very reassuring. She makes me feel comfortable and able to take a breath and go through my problems at my own pace. I'm experienced with therapy and the first session is generally getting to know each other which was the case with Virginia but by the end of the session we already had a plan in place that felt manageable and achievable for me at that time. I'm looking forward to further sessions with her and have great confidence I'll be able to better manage my panic/anxiety and control my disorganised thoughts with her support

Hello! I am a counselling psychologist registered with the HCPC. I was educated and trained in the US (MA in Counseling - Clinical Mental Health and MS in Psychology), and moved to the UK to work in the NHS as a therapist in 2022. I have worked in several mental health settings, from a nonprofit organization to a private practice to a community mental health clinic. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & intimacy related issues. I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and confidence. 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 sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
