My aim is to offer a safe, non-judgemental environment in which to explore emotions, issues and problems. We discuss individual needs and work accordingly, at a pace to suit the client - seeking coping strategies and setting goals with some, focussing primarily on emotions with others.
I am trained in Person Centred, Systemic and CBT approaches. I work integratively, drawing on my knowledge and experience to achieve a relationship in which there is mutual understanding, clarity of purpose and desired outcome.
I have been practicing as a counsellor since 2003 with experience of both corporate and commercial organisations. I have also worked with a national Bereavement Support charity and with the terminally ill.

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.
