Are you overwhelmed by negative thoughts, self-doubt, or anxiety? Do you feel stuck in patterns of avoidance or hopelessness?
I specialise in helping individuals regain control over their actions by providing practical, effective tools tailored to their unique needs.
Through our sessions, you will:
Gain Clarity and Insight: We’ll explore the root causes behind your unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together, we’ll identify patterns that keep you stuck and develop strategies to break free.
For instance, if social anxiety is holding you back, we’ll uncover the thoughts and emotions driving it and how they affect your life.
Build Your Personal Toolkit: I’ll guide you in creating a set of personalized techniques to manage challenges and reset your focus. By grounding yourself in your conscious mind, you’ll be empowered to respond to difficult emotions with self-compassion, making lasting positive changes.
Live in Alignment with Your Core Values: We’ll discover what truly matters to you, using your values as a compass to guide decisions and actions. By aligning your life with your values, you’ll find greater fulfilment, confidence, and purpose.
About Me:
With over 16 years of experience as a behavioral change coach and accredited therapist, I specialise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), two proven approaches backed by extensive research. My goal is to empower clients to overcome anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges so they can thrive.
As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I uphold the highest professional standards. I also regularly pursue advanced training and supervision to ensure my practice is always evolving.
Take the first step towards a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Together, we’ll work on managing your thoughts and emotions so you can move forward with confidence and self-compassion.

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.
