- BACP
I am a qualified and registered BACP counsellor. With over three years of counselling experience so far, I have worked with students, young people, and adults across a range of settings. I am skilled in building strong therapeutic relationships and supporting clients through issues such as anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, academic stress, identity, and relationship difficulties. I am most passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with navigating culture and identity. I use a person-centred, solution focused and integrative approach, tailoring sessions to meet each client’s unique needs. My work is grounded in empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.

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.
