My role is to provide warmth and empathy, to help you without pressure or judgement. I can help you to make changes and find a solution.
Life has been difficult and we can feel overwhelmed, lost, helpless or distressed. Anxiety, Stress and Phobias can be a part of everyday life. There are times when life can feel a struggle. Asking for help is hard. Maybe you imagine no-one else will understand.
I offer a safe and confidential place where you can explore your feelings and choices, developing a greater understanding of yourself. Counselling or Psychotherapy can help you to move forward and enhance your life experience.
We often rely on help from family and friends but there may also be issues that are complex or sensitive which we don't feel comfortable in sharing with those close to us. I can provide you with a confidential opportunity for you to express yourself openly, explore your thoughts and feelings in safety, to assist your learning, healing, understanding and growth. I have had great success specifically with clients who have come to me with Phobia and Anxiety issues. Whether your fears are spiders, snakes, holes or life in general, I can help.
I became aware of how valuable counselling is through my own life experiences and I subsequently trained as an Integrative Counsellor.
I am an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (bacp) and work within their code of ethics for good practice.
I receive regular supervision in line with bacp guidelines. I am committed to training as part of my ongoing personal and professional development.
I am qualified in the Integrative approach and also at Diploma Level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) I hold a BPS approved Certificate in Supervision and have achieved BACP Accredited status. I work mainly in an integrative way using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic and Humanistic theories.
I was previously Clinical Manager for a local mental health charity, Mind in addition to my private practice, managing their counselling service in addition to supervising a team of 14 counsellors.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
