10 years' experience

NCPS

With over 10 years of experience as a therapist, I provide a safe, warm and non-judgmental experience for your therapy sessions; my approach is direct, empathetic and genuine.

I have worked with a range of clients who have accessed online therapy for a variety of reasons. I am experienced in supporting those who are struggling with their mental health along with trauma, depression, anxiety, low mood, self-harm, low self-esteem, change, relationship issues with family, friends, partners and more. I have a special interest in working with anyone from the neurodiverse community.

Influenced by the diverse range of therapeutic models and theories, I integrate different tools and exercises into my work to aid you through the counselling process, such as timelines, inner child work, EFT, safety and stabilisation techniques, and more.

My approach is holistic, helping you strengthen your self-awareness so that you can develop the skills you need to live a healthier and happier life.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
