In our sessions, putting your goals at the centre of our work, we will collaborate to help you find ways to become more authentically you, to better understand any problems you might be facing, or simply to get to know yourself better. When life, work, family, money, anxiety, or stress all start to feel too much, our therapeutic space offers a safe environment to explore and process.
Together, we can work to understand your life and process, for example to understand thought patterns which might be holding you back, behaviours you’d like to change, or past experiences which are troubling you. Central to this is our relationship, a confidential and trusting space where you can develop the tools you need to become more emotionally confident and capable.
In my professional experience I’ve worked in domestic abuse, women’s centres, pastoral care in schools, LGBTQ+ charities, and addiction and recovery. I am kink-aware, and comfortable working with clients in a variety of relationship structures. I’ve worked for adult and young person special needs provisions, and as a teacher for over 10 years. In each of these environments I’ve learnt something different from every one of my clients and students, and how diverse and resilient humans can be, both in themselves and how they handle their challenges.

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.
