I believe in creating a safe and comfortable environment for everyone seeking support. My journey in the field of counselling began with a commitment to helping individuals navigate their personal challenges. With years of training and experience, I have developed a compassionate approach that prioritises the unique needs of each client. My practice is focused on providing a client-centred service that empowers you to speak freely and explore your emotions without judgement. I am dedicated to offering a warm and professional atmosphere for everyone who contacts me.
I am well qualified, very experienced and continually updating my skill set. I am an accredited member of the BACP, which is one of the professional bodies for UK counsellors.
I specialise in trauma-informed care, understanding the profound impact that past experiences can have on the present. I offer various therapeutic techniques tailored to your individual needs, ensuring that each session is meaningful and productive. My goal is to foster resilience and support your journey to healing and recovery. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, seeking general support or have a specific trauma history and burden that you carry, I am here to assist you. We can work together to build coping strategies and enhance your emotional well-being. Together, we will create a path towards a healthier and happier you.

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.
