Hello, welcome to my profile, I have many years of experience of working with issues such as bereavement, complex grief, survivors of suicide, abusive relationships, loneliness and disconnection, past trauma, low self worth, depression and anxiety. Whatever issues you wish to work on my ethos is to see you as a whole and valuable person. I have no formulaic way of working because each individual brings their own perspective. Whatever is brought into the therapy space will be fully heard; it is through this process and the development of trust between us you will find your way forward.
I believe in the therapeutic relationship which empowers individuals to find their own understanding of themselves and their experiences. Developing a safe space together is part of the process so finding the right therapist for you is important. Part of my approach is to regularly check in with clients to hear what it is you need from your therapy space and this will be something we talk through in a first appointment.
If you would like to arrange an appointment, or if you have questions, please message me.

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.
