- 4 years' experience

- BACP
I am an integrative therapist who brings together multiple differnt ways of working to find a style to suit the client. With a background in mental health support work, I have worked with a wide range of clients and issues. I offer a non-judgemental space where clients can be themselves and explore what is on their minds, and I am comfortable talking about whatever may arise. I am passionate about making counselling accessible, especially to those who are neurodivergent.

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.
