I came to BetterHelp when I was feeling low and was matched with Murray. He shares a lot of the same problems I have so it’s very refreshing to have someone to talk to who understands what I’m saying. He’s very understanding with absolutely no judgment for when I haven’t been keeping on track. He’s helped me get to know and understand myself more and I genuinely think I’m doing better for having him to talk to. All I can say is thank you so much for everything and for the road ahead!

How do you choose who to work with? Here are some of my key points.
"I am well qualified, and I put ethics and safety at the front of my practice."
I studied counselling at Uni and did a masters in psychology to make sure I can do this properly! I have full adult and child DBS, full insurance and am a registered member of BACP. Your safety is very important to me.
"I feel the struggle and suffering of what many clients experience, because I have felt it before."
Life can be extremely tough. It is horrible to feel struggle or to suffer. In the past I have suffered from panic attacks, anxiety, depression, addictions, substance use, suicidal ideation and many more. I think I have ADHD which I am working on at present. Feeling what you feel can help me to help you overcome the problems.
"These are your sessions, I work with you to give you what you want or need from them"
I'm trained pluralistically which means that different people need different things in therapy. You are unique, I try to provide what you want or need from me by communicating with you and integrating different approaches and theories. I always continue to learn, to provide more for you and your sessions.
"I feel confident to work with almost all people and almost all problems"
I am a general psychotherapist, and I enjoy working with everyone. I'm not afraid from working with the majority of psychological presentations. Feel free to message and ask if I can help with something. I work well with anxiety based problems, I work well with males. If I don't know how to work with you I will say as this is being fair to you.
"I like to be honest, open, straightforward, real."
Sometimes we need to work things out ourselves, sometimes we need help to do so. It is better for me to be real with you, and to discuss our work together, than to take your money under false pretences. Working pluralistically can be pragmatic at times. I genuinely care for my clients, I am always gaining understanding your perspective, I am always wanting to help you.
"I want to try to leave the world a slightly better place"
Our meaning is important to all of us. We find meaning in love, work and suffering (Frankl, 1946). People have a ripple effect on the people we meet through our interactions (Yalom, 2008).
MORE ABOUT ME
Away from work I like music, I try to keep myself healthy but could do better, walking my dog helps this. I'm fairly boring right now but I do have a serious interest in human beings, the world and how we navigate our way through difficulties, life events and periods of change. I like to study and learn.
People like to work with me for long periods of time but different people need different things and it is more important to me that you get what you need from our work.
Contact me if you want to see if we are able to work together.

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.
