I am a pluralistically trained therapist & psychotherapist which allows me to use a variety of theories and techniques to support your needs. I am based in the UK, and I have three years of professional work experience. Most of my experience has been supporting clients who are living with trauma and adverse childhood experiences using a trauma-informed approach to therapy. I also have experience working with motivation, overwhelm, anxiety low self-esteem, and lack of confidence. I believe that you are the expert on your life and your story, and you already possess the inner strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you - you may need reminding!
The first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I hope that I may be able to help you in this process. All are welcomed with open arms to a safe therapy space where you are invited to come as you are and however, you feel.

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.
