I am licensed psychotherapist in the UK, with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with a range of challenges including; stress and anxiety, depression, panic disorders and panic attacks, relationship issues, parenting issues, bereavement, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I have worked with both children and adults in different settings. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity. I have a training background in person-centred psychotherapy, which means that I you are in control of your therapy and that I will adapt our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I understand that it is not always easy to realise that you need support and to admit your life is not as fulfilling as you want it to be. You have been courageous and taken the first step to get help, and I am here to support you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
