I’ve found the counselling sessions really helpful. My counsellor listens carefully and makes me feel understood, which helps me open up about things I might otherwise keep to myself. Rather than telling me what to do, they guide the conversation in a way that helps me reflect and come up with my own solutions. I feel supported and never judged, and the sessions have helped me think more clearly about situations and how to manage them. It’s been a positive experience and I appreciate the understanding and space to talk things through.

When exploring the profiles what draws you to a counsellor? Generally speaking, people find me warm and friendly and open up whether they are clients or a stranger at a bus stop! If you want a counsellor that you find easy to trust who focuses on women clients, then book me. If you are a person of faith and want a counsellor with a faith background choose me.
Trained in the early 2000's, with both counselling and coaching qualifications I am potentially a good fit if you are committed to change.
I am a transformation and empowerment counsellor. I am your counsellor if you want to find and connect with your authentic self after events have shaken your confidence in you. I love to help clients find the gold within themselves and help them to find the gold they have to offer to the world. I have experience dealing with self-esteem, anxiety, relationship issues boundaries, self-care for carers, clients with additional learning needs, anxiety, depression and other concerns.
Therapy involves team work between therapist and client. I have an extensive tool bag and we take responsibility together for making the therapy effective. I ask clients what they want from counselling and we work together towards their goals. I do not work with every client. I work with clients who are committed to their own development and those whom I believe I am a good fit.
In terms of approach, my approach in underpinned by person-centred counselling which means that you are the centre of the counselling. You are the focus and I believe in you. I offer a mix of person-centred counselling, solution-focused counselling and am influenced by the cognitive-behavioural approach. I believe that our thinking affects our actions so better thoughts lead to a better life.
Looking forward to connecting with you if you feel I am a good match.

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.
