Deciding to start counselling can be daunting, but with me you'll be safe. I’ll walk with you on your journey of self-discovery while you explore the tangle of emotions, thoughts and feelings you’re experiencing.
I’ll support you in the safe place, the Therapy Room, where you have the freedom to be You! Together, we'll carefully uncover underlying emotions, hidden memories and patterns of behaviour from both the past and present. You'll discover how to unpick and understand the impact they've had and may still be having on your life. It’s a bit like peeling the layers off an onion! While peeling your onion, there may be tears, anger, laughter and a plethora of other emotions, but the great thing is you’re not alone, I’ll be peeling it with you!
I work with people who may be struggling to cope with issues including anxiety, domestic abuse, depression and trauma. You won't be judged, you'll be heard. I’ll support you while you make sense of WHERE you are, WHO you are and WHERE you want to be, so that you can truly be your ‘Best YOU' and live Your Best Life!
If you feel you're on an emotional roller coaster, why don't you get off the ride? STOP!! Take time to exhale and spend time with YOU! Take a chance and Change your Life FOREVER!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
