I am a BACP registered Transactional Analysis psychotherapeutic counsellor in the UK. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am ‘client-led’ in my approach and will not offer direct advice. My focus is on helping you find the answers that lie within you. This may involve reflection, open observations and gentle challenge to help you see yourself more clearly, see the patterns of your thinking, feeling and behaviours – and be able to make choices about changing the things you would like to change.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
