Hello there! My name is Ariana, I am a qualified & accredited counsellor with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc. Dip. Couns.) and I provide an integration of Humanistic & CBT therapy to individual adults over video or live chat.
I use a variety of methods to help you discern your feelings, your memories, the unconscious, and your relationships to help you understand how all of this combines to create the person you are today, and the person in which you hope to become.
I hope that as your counsellor I can facilitate the exploration of who you are and what you want out of your life, while also providing you with a confidential, non-judgmental, and accepting environment.
I cannot promise that the exploration of the self is a simple task, but you will not be alone when doing so.

WHAT IS COUNSELLING?
Counselling is a form of talking therapy in which we explore your thoughts and feelings related to something that you feel is affecting you & your everyday life.
Counselling can mean something different to all of us, but people often find counselling helpful when they feel they have nobody else to share their private thoughts with, or when they want a non-judgmental space to explore their feelings. My role as a counsellor is to listen with a kind and empathetic manner to support you in your journey of self-discovery.
As a counsellor my role is not to provide you with advice or to tell you what to do as I am a great believer in being in charge of your own life, however what I can do is offer you a listening ear and a caring approach so that we may explore your feelings together.
You may feel all kinds of different emotions in counselling, some of which may feel uncomfortable or challenging to you at times, but that is totally normal. Counselling is here to give you that private and confidential space to look at what is troubling you and to offer encouragement in exploring the root cause of those issues.

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.
