Hi, thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
Are you an overthinker? Do you find yourself easily affected by everything? Would you consider yourself quite sensitive? Are you struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or self-esteem issues? Do you find yourself battling with internal conflicts? If this resonates with you, then you are in the right place.
I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor who specialises in working with individuals who struggle with self-esteem issues, people-pleasing and are quite sensitive in nature.
You may be feeling tired of being stuck in repeated patterns and find yourself longing for change, yet needing assistance to work through them. Perhaps you're noticing how these behavioural patterns are affecting your relationships, how you feel about yourself, and overall life satisfaction. This is where I come in – I aim to offer you space for guided introspection so that you can uncover the emotional and psychological blockages that are holding you back.
In our sessions, you'll find a nurturing, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll delve into what's troubling you, to uncover insights, understandings, and clarity to move forward. I will help to guide you towards developing a more harmonious relationship with yourself and others.
My holistic therapeutic approach involves addressing the whole person, including the mind, body and spirit. If you service seems like a good fit for you, reach out and let's begin your journey together!

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.
