perhaps you can't see the end so just need a little help getting started.

I can offer you a safe non judgemental relaxed space. Previously I have worked within a Drs surgery, in a homeless hostel and with Samaritan's. I did start out as a hairdresser, then barber. Through these I found the importance of genuine listening and honesty, and the importance of having someone who really cared. I am credentialed in the UK with 6 years of professional experience. So whether it's stress, anxiety, phobias, homelessness, grief, PTSD, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma ,abuse. ADHD, breakups, or self worth. Or parental challenges, Your no longer on your own! We will find that underlying strength that will assist you in overcoming what's currently challenging you. It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. Counselling is a journey not one to take on your own ,so one I will take with you. There is no pressures as every session is adapted to working at your pace. I understand how scary and tough it is to take these first steps, I am described as caring ,thoughtful ,supportive, empathetic reliable and fun to be around. I

would be happy to work with you,,

If I'm right for you ,you will get that gut feeling !

So Just breathe, 'You got this!'

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.
