The likelihood is that if you feel drawn to working with me, I have either been through some similar issue or my experience means that I have the capacity to be able to empathise and support you fully with whatever it is that brings you to therapy.
I have worked with numerous agencies and with a wide range of issues to include anxiety, low self esteem, pain management, co-dependency, loss & grief, rejection and abandonment, through to trauma (sexual, racial, developmental, relational, generational), personality disorders, and many others. It is possible to heal.
I tailor my approach to what you bring into the therapeutic space and work creatively and intuitively. I am able to integrate a range of modalities working cognitively with the mind, somatically with the body and psycho dynamically/spiritually incorporating the spirit/soul enabling you to bring your full self into the therapy sessions. Our working together may involve focusing on the alleviation of a specific ailment or condition, or it may involve an exploration of your early years of development to understand how it impacts your present, relationship to Self, nature and the world.

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.
