I am a BACP Accredited therapist working face to face in Plymouth but also online.
I am very passionate about helping people who have experienced abuse and have gained a lot of experience in this field. This has been both in private practice and working with a Plymouth agency who specialised in this area. I previously managed a Bereavement Counselling Service for 6 years. Bereavement Counselling also remains a passion for me.

Most appointments are online/phone.
Traumatic life events can create sudden, urgent need for support. Equally, therapy can be a planned act of self care, facing barriers to growth and happiness. 18 years practice with young people, adults, families & couples therapy has taught me how everyone has unique experiences and needs. My approach is integrative, tailored to each client. I draw on 7 years academic studies & continuous professional development including psychotherapy, counselling, CBT, DBT, trauma focused therapy, coaching, SFBT and a PgC in supervision. I am committed to providing a positive, rewarding experience for clients, supervisees and organisations.

I offer therapy sessions online.
Getting used to life after loss can be a long and complex process, and if you are currently experiencing grief after bereavement or loss, you may be wondering if you can ever heal and recover from it. You might feel like your whole world is falling apart and you may be wondering whether anyone is able to help you. I understand how painful and difficult it can be to adjust to a new way life and recognise the unique challenges that come with different kinds of grief, including child and infant loss, loss of career/job, terminal illness, and chronic health conditions.

Pleased to announce I will be resuming Face2Face therapy from the 1st of April 2021 I will also be continuing to work online via Zoom.
Most people experience times in their lives when their feelings and their life as a whole seems totally unmanageable. Those moments are often described as ‘not being able to see the wood for the trees’- times when we feel that no one understands and we do not know which way to turn. Seeing a counsellor can often help you to gain a different perspective on life and see things more clearly. I believe that every person deserves the opportunity to be heard and to be given the chance to work through their problems in a safe and confidential space.

Available weekday evening's between 6pm and 11pm. Each person's journey through life is a unique experience, and when times are difficult it can often feel overwhelming and lonely, like no one understands. Things before that were easy to do are now becoming increasingly tough, or at times even impossible. There are many reasons that lead people to seek out therapy, you have already overcome the first hurdle to recovery, and that is seeking some support.

The preoccupation of fearing the worse, feeling not good enough and doubting yourself is tiring to carry around and becoming more difficult to mask. The uncertainty of how to change things adds to the frustration and muddle you are feeling.

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.
