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 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.
