I am accepting new clients, both in person & online with a mix of day/eve flexibility.
It can be painful to feel held back in life, that somehow you are meant for more, yet being at a loss to know how to move forward. Perhaps you experience a struggle in knowing who you really are and what you want from life. If you’ve experienced life changing challenges, setbacks or some sort of trauma, this can often be felt somewhere within your self image. You may have a deep desire for self empowerment, to feel a sense of belonging and rooted in a more authentic you.

Clients are all unique but I tend to work best with clients who enjoy a mixture of creative self discovery mixed with self reflection and commitment to personal change. Insights from therapy sessions are best integrated through further thought and action so that the client sees changes. I am committed to working with clients to support them to gain hope and confidence in these changes and themselves.

I offer individual therapy/supervision online and group therapy in person
I am a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, a HCPC-registered Arts Therapist, working in the NHS alongside my private practice. I offer a warm, supportive space where people feel heard, respected, and understood. I work creatively and flexibly, which can be especially helpful when feelings are hard to put into words. Using creative approaches alongside talking therapy can open up new ways of understanding experiences and emotions. My approach is client-centred and non-judgmental, grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard. I view difficulties not as personal flaws, but as signs of blocked growth and internal conflicts

Have you recently been through a loss of any kind? Perhaps it was someone you were close to? Or maybe your health has taken a turn for the worse? Perhaps you have split up with your partner? Or are you trying to cope with an unexpected change but find yourself struggling? Are you asking yourself why is my life so hard? Why can’t things just get back to being “normal?” Loss of any kind and change of any kind can come out of the blue and can turn your life upside down. Are you needing to talk to someone about how you are really feeling?

FAQ - About Teletherapy
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.
