Most children and young people will struggle with their emotional and mental health at some point. Some children prefer accessing therapy online over traditional in-person sessions. Online counselling can be just as effective as 'in-person' sessions. Children and young people are more likely to access help more quickly if they can access the sessions remotely. Online therapy has proven to have positive outcomes for many issues. I offer online counselling to increase accessibility, flexibility, and comfort, improving the young person's chances of seeing therapy through and achieving their therapeutic goals.

I am a fully qualified integratively trained Counsellor so can offer a wide variety of tools and support for anyone looking to resolve a particular issue or issues, seek clarification or learn ways to manage, to name a few: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or anger. I can also support you through relationship, family, bereavement or work related issues. By listening and talking things through, often different perspectives on situations come to light and help to tackle past, present and then when needed, future difficulties that may arise as you become more equipped with self-awareness and skills to tackle them.

I am a Trauma-informed, accredited UKCP psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner with 20+ yrs experience. I work with symptoms: depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, panic attacks, mistrust, hypervigilance, hopelessness, self-destructive behaviour, loss of sense of self. These are all symptoms of something deeper and we can work to alleviate these symptoms by working with the deeper issues that cause these. These symptoms are often caused by: abuse - sexual, psychological or emotional; neglect; loss; relationships; bullying; illness and many other 'normal' life events which can leave us not living our life fully.

You know something isn’t right in your life, but you don’t quite know where to begin to get help. Maybe the idea of speaking with somebody feels a little daunting, or you’re concerned you won’t be able to find the words, or they won’t understand where you’re coming from. This is absolutely normal, and is what most people feel before the call a therapist to get help. Even if you’ve been to counselling and psychotherapy before, the thought of explaining your story yet again might fill you with dread. What you could really do with is somebody that gets it, that you can feel comfortable with, that can help you feel understood, quickly.
