I am not your average counsellor. I use my background in person-centred training to provide a caring and non-judgemental approach. I feel that the most important part of counselling is the relationship between the counsellor and the client. I will help you to feel comfortable and safe in our sessions and work with you to deal with any issues you are or have been facing.
I will use other modes of therapy if I feel that they will help you and they can support you with your journey and I will give you the tools to decide what is best for you.
I can work with a number of issues and with any gender, however, my area of expertise is working with women around Body Image, Self-Love and Self-Confidence. If you've spent years hating how you look or how you feel about yourself, come and find out how I can help empower you to be the best version of yourself. I am also highly experienced in Health Anxiety and Depression which I have gained through working with a cancer charity since my training to present day.
I am a fat positive counsellor and I have helped many women to leave diet culture and live a life free from restriction and rules. You can be the healthiest and happiest version of yourself that you have ever been.
I can't take away your struggles, but I can walk beside you and help you through them and I will be there to give you the safe space to work through the things that may be holding you back in life, whilst offering challenge when needed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
