I will offer you a space to pause, take a breath, be heard, and supported - free from judgment. You will have my undivided attention, respect, care, and transparency, in the hope that you feel safe. When true connection and safety has been established, we can begin to explore your inner world. We will unearth your true thoughts and feelings and be curious about your behaviours and difficulties.
Our work together will provide you with deep insight and self-awareness, develop your confidence and self-worth, bring you clarity and focus.
This hard work, will pay off and will lead to long lasting positive change.
My intervention will be flexible and bespoke to meet your unique needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
