- BACP
My experience in therapy means I have sat where you are, and now as a practitioner, I understand how daunting the process can be to ask for help. Often we seek out therapy when we feel we are on the edge, and hopefully, we can build up a relationship to help foster your growth and independence. Therapy should be non-judgmental, and as such, I pride myself on being able to support you as I would hope someone would support me while I am in need.
I hold a master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am accrediated by the BACP with over 10 years experience in supporting individuals across various capacities. My expertise spans mental health, relationships, victims of crime (including domestic and sexual violence), and personal development, with a specialisation in building trusting relationships with clients from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Grounded in person-centred theory, I use evidence-based practice to deliver tailored interventions to promote holistic well-being and independence.
My professional journey includes roles such as a Children's Support Worker, Therapist, and various practitioner positions focused on mental health, homelessness, and domestic violence support. These roles have equipped me with the skills to provide effective support to vulnerable populations, including unaccompanied asylum seeker children and British young people, addressing their mental health needs and promoting their independence with compassion and professionalism. I have vast experience in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and people with disabilities.
Areas of Expertise:
I believe a therapist can help with a wide range of mental health concerns, including but not limited to:
Anxiety and stress management
Depression and mood disorders
Trauma and PTSD
Relationship and interpersonal issues
Grief and loss
Self-esteem and self-worth issues
Coping with life transitions
Identity and self-exploration

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
