In my 6 years working as a therapist and mental health professional, I've supported many people who are carrying the weight of abuse, trauma, rape, grooming and other challenging life experiences. I help people work through the aftermath of sexual assault, domestic abuse, childhood neglect, or other painful situations, which can mean finding ways to cope with grief, loss, loneliness, eating disorders, parenthood, or the impact of a new diagnosis such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, or PTSD.
My work with university students has shown me how important it is to have someone alongside you when life feels overwhelming or confusing. Together, we explore challenges that continue to affect daily life, build coping strategies, and make sense of experiences in a safe and non-judgmental space.
Beyond trauma, I help clients face issues around identity and belonging. In 2023, I delivered a workshop called "The Complexity of Skin Colour". Since then, I have worked with people dealing with racism in the workplace, parents navigating conversations with their children, and those who want practical tools and resources to build resilience while addressing everyday microaggressions.
I also volunteer with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy, where I support people living with or recovering from domestic abuse, childhood trauma, or sexual violence. My 1-2-1 sessions can also involve navigating the impact of court proceedings or the complexities of motherhood, abortion, or miscarriage.
I use my background in coaching, personal training and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to help people who are struggling with food or their body image move towards a healthier relationship with themselves. My 12-week reflective booklet is a proactive tool that works alongside therapy to help reshape people's views on food and give them a positive body image.
Couples often come to me when they want to strengthen their relationship. I teach them how to rebuild intimacy, create deeper emotional connections, manage cultural differences, and make decisions about family life. I also support couples working through betrayals, resentments, or the aftermath of difficult experiences such as miscarriages or traumatic births. Whether the focus is on growing stronger together or exploring what it means if you have grown apart, my role is to guide you towards clarity and connection.
At the heart of all my work is the belief that healing is possible. Trauma often feels like a jigsaw puzzle, with pieces scattered and unclear. My role is to stand beside you while you make sense of those pieces, offering steady support, coping mechanisms, and emotional strategies as you find your way forward.
Worried we might not be a good fit?
The best way to know if this feels right for you is to experience a session and see if my approach meets your needs.
We all need someone to lean on sometimes.
Let me be your pillar to lean on while we work together to navigate your traumas, worries, and fears and build you a better future.

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.

I came in feeling lost and emotionally overwhelmed and through our sessions I started to understand myself on a much deeper level She never judged me Thanks to her and her guidance I highly recommend her to anyone ?
A very encouraging first session
Azora is a very kind and respectful person. During each of my sessions, you really feel that she listens to you and really helps to guide you through the problems you are trying to work on. She helps dig into the root cause of the problems you are dealing with and as a result, you realise where the real issue lies even if you think it might be somewhere else. I am very happy with Azora and how she helps me navigate my problems.
She has been fantastic in every way since our first session
I absolutely adore Stasia. She is kind, empathetic, and truly helped me open myself up into a new way of life. I truly would not be where I am today without her help. I cannot thank her enough.
Someone I could feel easily comfortable with and show my vulnerable side to knowing I will get the support I need,
Stasia is incredibly attentive and has a deep understanding of core issues and trauma. Her professional yet approachable manner creates a safe and comfortable environment where I feel at ease to open up. She listens intently to my concerns, worries, and experiences, offering thoughtful insights and tangible relief. With her guidance, I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m truly grateful to have her as my therapist.
I have only had one session but I can already tell that she is going to guide me to a better place. I’m excited to continue working with her.
I absolutely adore Stasia. She understands me on a level that is so much different, in the best way possible, that my other therapists couldn't. She is a fantastic listener, and her activities she offers are very helpful.
Great listener and very empathetic.
Stasia is very patient, understanding and really tries to understand where you are coming from and what you are trying to say. I feel very heard and also she gives relevant homework if that's something you're looking for.
Stasia is supportive and so knowledgeable. I’ve only had two sessions so far but am seeing the impact already and fully trust that there will be further impact through these sessions going forward. She is quick to reply to messages and sets really useful worksheets to support.
Stasia has been extremely helpful and responsive. She has been able to not only explore my past issues but guide me through recent realisations and experiences.
I had only two sessions with Stasia, but they were incredibly helpful. She listens patiently and provides insightful solutions. With her guidance, I was able to take some important decisions in my life. Highly recommend her!
Stasia is such a kind, reassuring therapist who I feel I can trust deeply. She is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist and so helpful, I’m very grateful for her guidance
I have many barriers that make all my problems hard to understand, but she's really good at listening to my thoughts! If you want someone easy to talk to, kind, and non-judgmental, go to her directly
