Hello and thanks for visiting my profile. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, depression, abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
I believe in a personalised style of therapy that's adapted to suit every client individually. My initial therapeutic approach will always be person-centred, focusing on you and your experience of life right now. I'll attempt to understand things as you understand them.
As our sessions and therapeutic relationship develop, we can discuss other approaches if they seem like they could be useful.
Talking therapy is a two-way interaction that depends on what the client brings and how the therapist responds.
Please take some time to consider what you want from therapy. Perhaps you simply want a confidential space to breathe and say things you feel unable to say in any other area of your life. Maybe you want specific coping mechanisms for day-to-day issues.
You might want to refocus historic family issues, trauma, or abuse. This can help to gain greater clarity and understanding about yourself. You might want to bring about personal change, but feel confused or stuck.
Navigating through life's issues can be hard, but reaching out for help is a big and brave first step.
Try talking everything through, out loud, to someone who is actively listening. It might make a big difference.

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.
