Do you ever feel like you have lost your way? Whether that be feeling like you are trapped in a dense fog, have fallen into a huge hole, or have wandered out too far and are now out of your depth. It can be daunting to think that you have to find your way back by yourself, sometimes it can even feel impossible.
But you don't have to do it alone. Often people think a counsellors job is to pull you out of the fog, to lift you out of the hole, to drag you back to steady ground but it isn't. I will find you in that fog, crawl down into that hole, walk out to where you feel unsafe and I will be there with you. And when you feel ready we will work together to find our way through the fog, to climb out of that hole, and to make our way back to more steady ground.
I'm not here to save you from what you are going through. I'm here to be with you, to offer you support, and to offer you comfort as you find your way through.
My aim is to work alongside you in the hope of getting you to a place where life and its problems feel more manageable.
Life should be about more than just surviving. Life should be about thriving.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
