Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed?
Struggling with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or relationship issues?
Life throws many challenges at us, and it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. You don’t have to struggle alone. If you’re reading this, you’re already thinking that things could be better.
Each of us has the capacity for change and self-understanding when we are provided with a safe, non-judgemental and empathic environment. Person-centered therapy offers a collaborative and empowering approach for self-awareness and personal growth.
Together we will build a space built on trust, respect, and compassion, where you can feel free to really be yourself. Therapy can help provide insight, clarity, and self-acceptance. I'll support you in uncovering your strengths, values, and inner resources to engage in life's challenges with confidence and authenticity.
I've studied psychology for 10 years, which allows me to integrate person-centred counselling, consumer psychology, and mindfulness. This provides a unique perspective on modern life's impacts and effective strategies for managing its many challenges.
I studied for three years at the Bangor Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, which provided rich insight into MBCT and MBSR. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to mindfulness, we can tailor our sessions to your preferences. Let me know your level of interest, and together, we'll explore how to incorporate mindfulness into our work.
Choosing a therapist can be daunting experience, so well done for starting your search. If you are reading this and have the sense there is something you want to change about your life then I would love to hear from you.

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.
