Individuals often feel overwhelmed, anxious and lost. These issues come up regularly for adults in therapy and can be helped with the right approach. Working with a therapist provides tools to cope and manage life's struggles, allowing you to become more like your real self.

I completed my initial training in CBT and also utilise many types of approach and will work collaboratively with clients to find what fits best.

Areas of special interest and experience: Intimacy in any form, anger, trust, anxiety, ADHD and OCD.

Feeling stuck and frustrated in your relationship, repeating patterns that you both don't know how to stop? Couples therapy can help work through what is happening and can get to the route of why ? Therapy can help you navigate towards repair and reconnection. Couples often come facing challenges with communication, mismatched desires, unmet needs and repeated arguments. We can work with communication techniques and strategies, emotional regulation, and a step by step approach that addresses the needs of everyone in the relationship.

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.
