I understand that taking the first step to reach out for counselling can take courage and might be daunting. I offer a warm and supportive environment for you to comfortably explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, enabling you to navigate life's challenges.
I have experience in working with a range of presenting issues including, and not limited to; relationship issues, anxiety and depression, family conflicts, addiction, trauma and coping with grief and loss.
As a Person Centred Integrative Counsellor, I work in a relational way, providing a safe, non judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a confidential environment. My approach focuses on building a trusted relationship, offering a reflective space to enable you to become self-aware and confident to explore your presenting issues, encouraging your personal growth in feeling able to make decisions that are right for you. I value everyone as a unique individual, therefore I work with different theories and adapt these to meet your individual needs. I will be travelling through your personal journey with you, so there is a sense of continual togetherness through the process.
We will regularly review how things are going, to check that we are working in the right way for you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- 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.
