- BACP
I am a qualified and registered BACP counsellor. With over three years of counselling experience so far, I have worked with students, young people, and adults across a range of settings. I am skilled in building strong therapeutic relationships and supporting clients through issues such as anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, academic stress, identity, and relationship difficulties. I am most passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with navigating culture and identity. I use a person-centred, solution focused and integrative approach, tailoring sessions to meet each client’s unique needs. My work is grounded in empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.

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.
