Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I would like to support you in that process. I am a UK qualified Therapeutic Counsellor with more than 4 years of professional work experience, and a specialism in CBT and EMDR. I use an Integrative approach which means that I can use Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Psychodynamic Therapy or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to to meet your unique and specific needs, and to support you with the change you want to see in your life. I have successfully helped and empowered clients to overcome a wide range of issues, problems and difficulties including stress, anxiety, trauma, domestic abuse, life changes, depression, poor motivation, weight issues, phobia and addiction, lack of self esteem and lack of confidence.
I have a non-judgmental approach and will treat you with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have twenty years experience of working and supporting young people with ADHD and Autism, so if you need a counsellor who understands some of the particular issues around neuro-diversity, I believe that you can feel confident and comfortable working alongside me.
I'm available for sessions only on a Friday. I look at my messages several times a day and you can expect a response from me between 6 and 8 pm Monday to Friday. This is because I'm busy during the day and I don't want to send you a rushed response. At the weekend, just like everyone else, I'm either resting, relaxing and unwinding or I am undertaking training; I will try to respond on the same day, please don't feel that I am ignoring you, I will answer.

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.
