When our lives are so busy, relentless even, with the demands of others thrown into the mix, getting someone to truly hear us can feel like shouting into the wind. Even navigating our own thoughts can be noisy and overwhelming.
Therapy with me is, at its core, a space for you to be heard and seen. To explore what troubles you with someone who is not linked to anyone else in your life, and therefore here, without judgement, just for you. We can go at your pace, look at techniques and tools, and/or explore patterns that emerge to find meaning and direction.
It takes courage to seek therapy, but it is the start of development and change; in a nutshell - true living.
I am a qualified therapist working in the United Kingdom, and a Registered Member of the BACP. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life-changes, difficult choices, attachment issues, self esteem, shame, anger, relationship issues, and compassion fatigue. I have a background in working in the Creative Arts with over 20 years' experience of working with performers, writers and musicians.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
