Hello, and thank you for being here. I am credentialed in the UK with over three years of counselling experience, and I know it can take real courage even to start looking for support. If you are reading this, you may already be carrying a lot — perhaps anxiety, grief, a sense of numbness, or the impact of childhood emotional neglect. You might also feel unsure about your relationships, or about how to reconnect with yourself.
I work with both individuals and couples, and my aim is to offer a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. Some people come wanting to rebuild trust in their relationship, others want to understand themselves better, and many just need a place to untangle what feels overwhelming. Whatever brings you here, we will go at your pace.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection. If you decide to work with me, you can expect warmth, patience, and someone who will really listen.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

It has been really rewarding to learn with Valerie for the past three sessions. The atmosphere in our calls feels safe, honest and productive. I appreciate Valerie's deep listening skills and targeted questions that often stay with me throughout the week and help me better understand what I am dealing with and how I might pause and move forward. I look forward to continuing our work together.
