I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor. This approach is fantastic to explore why you think, feel, and behave in the way you do, and the impact of past relationships on your current self. I have worked with people for over 25 years and qualified as a therapist 7years ago. I have specialised in trauma and its impacts, and also relationship issues. I have personal experience of neurodiversity and Brain injury, so I empathise with clients or families of people affected by these issues. I am friendly and approachable and can tailor your therapy around what you need.

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.
