Hello! Thank you for reading my profile. I am a NCPS accredited therapist with over 6 years counselling experience and am based in the UK. I work with both individual and couples as I am also a Relate qualified relationship counsellor.
My key areas of interest are stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions and coping with grief and loss. Being an integrative counsellor, I work from a client-centred base but incorporate other modalities such as CBT and solution focussed therapy along with compassionate and mindfulness approaches. I have a strong interest in adult attachment and systemic models when working with clients on relational or family issues.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will help you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
