More about Valerie

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am credentialed in the United Kingdom with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, domestic violence, anxiety and depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. My way of working is the Person Centred modality which means that I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My approach is gentle and soft and your well being is my priority. I will provide a safe, trusting and confidential space for you to explore your issues allowing you to heal and feel better about yourself. Others see me as kind, calm, diligent, compassionate and professional and someone who is always happy to listen. I feel for those who are in emotional difficulty and my aim is to help my clients learn to help themselves. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

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.
