Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a fully insured, licensed and BACP registered counsellor in the UK with many years of professional and counselling experience.
I have expertise in helping clients with grief and loss, anxiety, relationship issues, and the associated struggles that affect everyday life quality.
Availability and Times:
I work via live chat and asynchronous messaging only currently. I have a recurring schedule that would suit those who are up early. You can check my schedule for times I am available. If you send any messages to my inbox, I aim to respond within 24 hours. I am always happy to share resources and work through any specific life issues you might be facing.
Please be aware Betterhelp is not suitable for when you are in a mental health crisis and I do not offer emergency support. If you feel that is what you need, please contact your area’s mental health crisis line, Samaritans on 116 123 or if it is an emergency please dial 999.
Approach and Specialism:
I am always very keen to hear what might be important to you especially during our initial sessions to ensure you get what you need from our time together. I work in a person-centred experiential way, which means the focus is not just on the mind and the emotions, but also on the senses and bodily sensations, taking a holistic approach is most helpful to those suffering with anxiety nervous system related issues. I find the body-mind route makes a lot of sense to clients struggling to regulate and cope with everyday life.
I have a calm and empathic nature and always create a non-judgmental, and caring space where you can feel comfortable and safe to explore whatever it might be that is holding you back from living your life to the full.
I also have several years’ experience working within a Hospice providing counselling to clients and patients affected by the pain and grief of their loss; or coming to terms with a terminal diagnosis. I have witnessed the huge benefits to whole families when they had counselling during these difficult times of unbearable pain and sadness. It can be an extremely lonely and disorientating time to face on your own when a loved one dies and the feelings associated with the death of a significant person can be extremely complex, overwhelming, and unpredictable. You might find yourself dealing with feelings of anger, resentment, or other emotions which are hard to express when someone has died. Together we can work through your experiences and find some peace and comfort whilst building resilience and understanding.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can often feel scary and overwhelming and you might not know quite what you need, but I would like to encourage you to reach out and start working towards the future you deserve. At the outset we can discuss your needs and goals and agree on the number of sessions you feel you might need. I usually recommend at least 4 – 6 sessions before we review the work and plan where you would like to go from there.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, research and practice indicate that remote therapy can be as effective as face-to-face work for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the way of connecting that fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from wherever one is located.
Therapists who work online are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel another fit would be better. Online therapy can support progress on a wide range of everyday mental health concerns while offering practical convenience and multiple ways to engage.
