Do you ever feel like anxiety, self-criticism, or old habits keep pulling you off course, no matter how hard you try?
My process is designed to help you change that. I use the Conscious Mind Empowerment Method, which shows you how to step out of those unhelpful patterns and reconnect with your conscious self — the part of you that is home to wisdom, kindness, values, logic, and courage.
Through my 4-Step Change Process, you’ll learn to:
• Reset your focus when overwhelming thoughts and feelings take over.
• Practise self-compassion instead of battling your feelings.
• Reframe challenges so they connect you back to motivation and purpose.
• Take mindful, values-based steps forward, even when life feels tough.
Clients often tell me this approach gives them both clarity and confidence. A framework that’s practical, compassionate, and sustainable.
I bring over 16 years of therapeutic experience, having worked with more than 600 clients worldwide. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association Française de Thérapie Comportementale et Cognitive (AFTCC), with a background in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and coaching.
What to expect: Our sessions will be collaborative and supportive, blending structure with empathy. You’ll leave with tools you can apply straight away, while also building long-term skills to live a life more aligned with your values. My goal isn’t just to help you cope, it’s to empower you to thrive.

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.
