Welcome! Are you experiencing personal difficulties and do not know where to turn? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by life, isolated from the world others seem to living in, or have been caring a sense of dread, sadness or anger for some time and are now tired.
I am a accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 10 years of professional work. I am positive and passionate about the benefits of counselling and would relish the opportunity to support you through your difficulties.
Alongside, I am member Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and will shortly be gaining accreditation.
EMDR is a psychotherapy approach designed for working distressing or traumatic memories. The Theory behind EMDR is that many psychological difficulties are the result distressing life experiences which have not been stores in the memory and are said to be unblocked or unprocessed. These traumatic memories may some help to become processed, and EMDR is one way to do this.
I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I am also a trained couple counsellor and have gained experience working with many couples successfully.
I am also trained in plat therapy and have experience of working in a educational setting.
Another part of my career has been offering support and counselling to bereaved families and individuals coming struggling with terminal illness.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
