Counselling can provide support and facilitate self healing, well being, personal development, increase autonomy and to promote an awareness of personal strengths.
Counselling can help with experiences of anxiety and stress, childhood issues, low self esteem, abuse, trauma, existential difficulties, depression, grief and loss, increasing confidence or any issue where a person needs understanding and support to explore their situation in a nonjudgmental space.
The situation a person is in and what they need or want from counselling can vary and so different approaches can be used.
Counselling can provide;
support through difficult times, being able to explore any situation fully.
A place to be understood in a confidential, professional and relaxed collaborative environment.
A healing interactive relationship to help resolve the effects of previous experiences which have left negative expectations and responses to current situations.
A way of expanding on and understanding the Self.
I work from an integrative approach which draws from a range of humanistic counselling theories to suit the individual and their situation which includes Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic, CBT, Person Centered Therapy, Gestalt, Psychosynthesis and Existential approaches.

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.
