I'm currently offering therapy online via Zoom.
I enjoy helping people who have reached a point in their life when they're feeling stuck and unable to change the way they feel, behave or react to other people. I'm good at helping people to understand themselves better and to change the way they relate to themselves and other people. I work with a very broad range of problems from persistent anxiety and depression to severe trauma and personality disturbance. I offer appointments to clients living locally to me in West Yorkshire, across the U.K., and in a range of countries across the world.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, anxious, or uncertain about where their life is headed. They may be facing relationship issues, low self-esteem, or the emotional weight of trauma. Often, they’re looking for clarity, relief, and more supportive ways to connect with themselves and others. I also see many people exploring shifts in identity, culture, or sense of purpose—sometimes linked to a recent diagnosis of autism or ADHD, or simply a changing life stage. My aim is to help each person tap into their own strengths, discover new perspectives, and find genuine hope and direction.

I offer talking therapy and EMDR online and in person in Hebden Bridge.
EMDR is a well researched form of therapy focussed on reprocessing trauma. It can reduce or eliminate symptoms like flashbacks, intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotional reactions to triggers. Trauma is any event which the brain isn't able to process at the time. The event isn't processed and stored away like other memories.

I offer therapy sessions in person and online.
I am a queer, non binary therapist. I offer both individual and relationship therapy. My practice is informed by intersectional and inclusive feminism and anti-oppressive practices. I encourage enquiries from all LGBTQ+ folks, transgender and gender non-conforming people, people in non-monogamous or unconventional relationships, sex workers, and other marginalised groups. I offer relationship therapy for couples or people in polyamorous or open relationships. I focus on understanding the cycle of conflict people in relationships might find themselves in, and we work to understand that the cycle is the issue, not each other.

There are times when we all can struggle to work out a way forward on our own. Voicing what is going on for you in a safe and positive environment can be key. Often we are too critical of ourselves and have had life experiences that negatively impact or devastate us. It can be too difficult to talk to those around us. Taking your time to reflect with an experienced professional can provide you with the strategies to really bring about changes in order to work towards happiness and inner peace.

Online Counsellors
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
