I am an integrative counsellor licensed in the UK with 3 years of experience working in clinical practice. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loss, disordered eating body image issues, and career challenges, . I am also an Autism informed practitioner
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I will listen to your unique circumstances and challenges and work from a blend of modalities to best suit you. That we can use in our sessions to help you understand yourself better. No two clients are the same and no two issues are identical, so by taking an integrative approach, I can tailor our sessions to you, your feelings, behaviours and difficulties.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

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.
