Dina has been wonderful, she's helped and encouraged me to explore and challenge thoughts, beliefs and feelings that have had an impact on me for many years. Her gentle questions and strong empathy have given me the space and confidence to unlock them. I always feel safe

We are living in a fast-paced, stressful world now. Many of us have learned to get on with life, even through the difficult times. I can understand the hesitations one might have to talk about those times and make the decision to seek support through counselling.
I am a naturally warm, non-judgemental and caring counsellor and will listen carefully to what may trouble you and support you to move towards personal growth and change. We would work at your own pace on issues you would choose in a safe and confidential space.
I can work flexibly with you according to your needs and circumstances upon request. I have so far five years of professional experience working in mental health services and three of these years of successful counselling work with adults and young people.
How I work - in a person-centred and relational way where the relationship between me as a therapist and you as the client is of the utmost importance. You will be valued and seen by me as a whole person. At times I can draw on other theories such as solution-focused and psychodynamic theories to link what you may be feeling and issues in the present with events and feelings from the past and from childhood. My work is to be your support alongside you on this chosen journey of yours to growth and fulfilment in life.

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.
