Finding the right counsellor can be tricky sometimes as this may bring up many questions like, will I feel comfortable with the counsellor? Will I be judged etc.
I can provide a safe non- judgmental therapeutic environment where you can explore, understand and heal.
Life can throw up challenges and lead to emotional instability, low mood, anxiety, stress or low confidence. There can be a loss of family or friends through bereavement, relationship issues which may sometimes trigger mood changes.
As an integrative counsellor I use different approaches/point of views to explore and understand the issues that you may bring to counselling. I am happy to tailor my work to best suit your needs to facilitate the best possible outcome. In the sessions we explore any issues that you bring and try to understand it from various perspectives such as what has caused the issue, what do you want to happen with regards to these issues, what are your options and which option works best for you!

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.
