Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

As a qualified professional based in the UK, I bring over four years of experience helping clients navigate a wide array of emotional and psychological challenges, including guilt, shame, anxiety, stress, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

I possess a deep sense of empathy for those struggling with these issues and am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients.

Specialist interests:

I have a specialist interest in bereavement and grief, understanding how these experiences can profoundly impact mental health. Moreover, as a certified trauma-informed counsellor, I am devoted to assisting individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse, ensuring they feel heard and validated throughout their healing journey.

Additionally, I have a specialist interest in supporting sex workers, stemming from a desire to understand and advocate for their unique experiences. I take pride in being listed in the National Ugly Mug counselling directory, which is dedicated to this community.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and managing life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is the flexibility it offers. Clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to access support without disrupting daily routines. Therapy through digital channels is provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy is a practical and effective way to begin or continue their mental health work.
