People often search for a counsellor because they want help to cope differently. It may be that you feel that right now you aren't coping at all. In seeking a counsellor you are already beginning to trust in the idea that you can find a way through the challenges you face.

I am a BACP registered counsellor, group facilitator and counselling skills lecturer. I am passionate about helping people to build their own tools for navigating difficulties and building resilient mental health. I have over 11 years of professional work experience with particular skills in helping young people and anger management. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. 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 & empower you in that journey.

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.
