It's early days but Muriel has made me feel very at ease, she doesn't push to much and allows me to lead the session. She's professional and comforting.

More about Muriel
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I hold a Foundation Degree in Integrated Counselling covering person-centred, CBT, and psychodynamic therapies. Additional training has included the neuroscience of ADHD, ASD, Dementia, Addiction, Depression, and Psychosis; treating issues like perfectionism, OCD, anxiety, and self-harm; and Suicide Prevention. Currently, I am studying a MSc in Workplace Health and Wellbeing.
I have six years part-time experience – two as a placement whilst studying and four post-qualification. Experience includes helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression/low mood, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, life stage challenges, family problems, and career and work difficulties.
I work with clients in the following way:
• creating an open and safe environment to share and explore feelings and experiences without judgment
• encouraging clients to be curious about thinking, feeling, and behavioural styles and patterns
• helping to explore root causes of problems and to be solution oriented
• providing information on psychological conditions and concepts, and making suggestions for treatment/solutions (this will mean clients will try things out between sessions)
• agreeing goals for counselling within the first three sessions and reviewing progress against these on a four weekly basis.
Healing and change is possible, we each have the power and courage to achieve it. Sometimes we just need someone to walk with us for a while, until we find our way.

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.
