Hello and welcome. I’m a qualified counsellor with over six years’ experience supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, grief, and relational challenges. My approach is grounded in person-centred and trauma-informed principles, shaped by creativity and systemic insight.
I offer therapy in ways that meet you where you are—whether that's live video, telephone sessions, or secure asynchronous messaging. This flexible format ensures you can access support in a way that feels manageable, confidential, and tailored to your life and preferences.
Together, we can explore difficult emotions, work through patterns, and move towards greater clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. Therapy is a collaborative space—and you set the pace.

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.
