I am a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom dedicated to supporting individuals through a range of life challenges, including stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, self-esteem, confidence, and career-related issues. With a deep foundation of over thirty years in training, decision-making, and leadership coaching, I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to openly explore their thoughts and feelings. I have cultivated advanced high-stakes communication, conflict resolution, and team dynamics skills. My person-centred counselling training and significant training and coaching background have equipped me to provide empathetic and effective support to individuals navigating significant life changes and seeking meaningful growth.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage. I am committed to guiding and empowering my clients as they build resilience, embrace change, and unlock their potential. With an approach grounded in empathy, integrity, and holistic understanding, I aim to support individuals in their journey toward greater self-awareness, confidence, and well-being.

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.
