Hello and welcome. I’m a qualified counsellor with over six years’ experience supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, grief, and relational challenges. My approach is grounded in person-centred and trauma-informed principles, shaped by creativity and systemic insight.

I offer therapy in ways that meet you where you are—whether that's live video, telephone sessions, or secure asynchronous messaging. This flexible format ensures you can access support in a way that feels manageable, confidential, and tailored to your life and preferences.

Together, we can explore difficult emotions, work through patterns, and move towards greater clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. Therapy is a collaborative space—and you set the pace.

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.
