Some people arrive feeling overwhelmed, having tried everything they can think of. Others use the sessions as a creative space to explore thoughts and emotions. Some people come because they find themselves unable to let go of past experience. I am wondering what brings you here?... Shall we explore it together?

I am an accredited BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with over 12 years of professional experience. I have helped people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, cope with grief, loss, life changes & depression.

Counselling is about offering you a conversation that is

led by you and focused on the issues that matter most to you. I will be listening closely, using all my training and experience, with the aim of providing you with the opportunity to make links and gain insight into your situation. With this insight you will be empowered to choose whether to carry on as you have done before or to make changes.

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.
