Counselling is a talking therapy which can enable you to come to your own conclusions and take your own decisions in life. I can help you achieve that. Counsellors recognize that no two human beings are alike or have the same experiences so therapy can be tailored to an individual need. I work with a wide range of different clients but feel my expertise lies in Anxiety/depression, relationship, mental health issues and bereavement and loss. So if you want a listening ear and a friendly face I am here and remember, "We fall, we break, we fail, but then we rise, we heal and we overcome".

“Hello and thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. I believe that we all experience difficulties in our lives and it can be difficult to speak to friends and family at times. Coming to counselling for the first time can be very challenging and it takes courage to open up and talk about how we feel. I believe that counselling can be a very liberating experience and can enhance our self-awareness and bring about positive changes in our lives as well as increasing our general well-being."

Life is tough for everyone at the moment especially in the aftermath of the pandemic. Everything seems so stressful and difficult and you wonder why you don't seem to cope when everyone else does. You can't make sense of what is happening either with you or your relationship. You may be anxious or fearful for the future and really fed up feeling the way you do and never getting beyond it? Would you like help to understand why you feel this way, to take back control of your thoughts and feelings and your relationships? At the end of therapy you want to feel stronger and more empowered to get on with your life.

Sometimes 'stuff' happens and life gets complicated and challenging. These concerns can be recent, short-term, unanticipated or due to life experiences in the past. Such circumstances can prevent you from moving forward, remaining stuck in unhelpful patterns, and impact daily functioning. Seeking support takes a lot of courage but here you are stepping in the direction of healing. I would like to support you in this process of self-exploration and rebuilding trust. Compassion and gentle challenges within a safe, confidential and warm environment can be vital in bringing sustainable transformation- from surviving to thriving.

I've been actively practicing as a Therapist for the last 5 years and have always worked with a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. The youngest being 8 years and the oldest being 84. Many of these clients have lived in different places all over the country. This experience has meant that I have needed to become a different type of Therapist for each client that I work with to ensure that I am able to best support them. This has also meant that I have worked with people for many different reasons and has given me skills to comfortably meet people where they are and work towards their goals in Therapy.

I work with clients globally via online Sessions and also facilitate group and trainings throughout the UK. I am a transpersonal therapist who works in a very solution focused way. I use a combination of techniques such as CBT, Transactional Analysis, Solution-focused therapy as well as hypnotherapy and parts therapy. I believe that change can happen even in the first session and that a client doesn't need to be in long-term therapy to achieve their therapeutic goals.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
