Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Why come to counselling?
Sometimes you may be feeling sad, battling with depression or feeling the weight of anxiety. You may be dealing with relationship issues, separation, trauma or you may not know why you feel unhappy, and need help to move forward in a safe space.
You may want a chance to explore and work on yourself, in a non-non-judgemental environment, or you may want to talk about difficult issues with someone you feel comfortable talking to.
My Journey
I have always been passionate about helping others to embark on their journey to their inner peace. Some years ago, I went on my own journey through therapy, which helped me to understand the process of counselling, and the value of being in a safe space with someone who showed me genuiness, acceptance, and empathy. My journey had many different roads, which lead me to becoming a qualified Counsellor.
I have spent many years of my career supporting and working with individuals who have found themselves in challenging circumstances, whether they were dealing with addiction, self harm, relationship issues, or other struggles as a result of experiencing a traumatic or difficult event in their past, or in the present time.
My goal is to offer clients a safe, warm, respectful and sometimes challenging environment, in which they can explore the issues that are important to them.

Background
I have worked professionally for many years with those affected by addictions, low self-esteem and destructive behaviour. I am experienced in working with those who are a victim or survivor of trauma, sexual abuse and domestic violence.
I believe that we can work out problems and anxieties, no matter how ‘stuck’ we feel, just through the simple act of being listened to without judgement. Counselling is a relationship where we work together to acknowledge the issues that you wish to understand and resolve.

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A key advantage is flexibility – clients can choose the mode of contact that fits their life and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone appointments, live chat or in-app messaging. This versatility makes it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, family and other commitments.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be helpful. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible and practical route to consistent support when facing everyday mental health challenges.
