Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
About me and my therapy practice:
I provide a non-judgemental and safe space, giving you an opportunity for exploration, emotionally and psychologically, to determine your current state of being.
I will be supportive of your inherent ability to know your own intentions and honour this process, with the hope to assist you to gain a greater understanding of yourself, therefore increasing self-awareness. This is key to having a healthy sense of self.
As you work with the true aspects of yourself, and gain an understanding of the underlying causes of how you came to be where you are, you can progress towards learning tools of resilience, self-regulation and emotional healing, which could move you towards a more fulfilling and enjoyable life circumstance and create positive, lasting, meaningful change; something we all aspire to achieving. Even in the most hopeless feeling space, change is possible.
I enjoy using a variety of modalities to fit your individual preferences, circumstances and issues with an integrative approach, with three years experience (including training/volunteering). Within this model I like to use the psychodynamic approach to help me to access the origin of a particular challenge/issue; cognitive behavioural therapy to assist with devising tools to address unhealthy behavioural/thinking patterns, and person-centred approaches to assist with developing and remaining in a professional client-led/therapeutic relationship with you which is key to effective counselling.
I know that it takes courage to make this first step in seeking support and I appreciate the need to find the right counsellor to support you on your journey. With this in mind please feel free to contact me with any questions or enquiries, and I will endeavour to respond promptly, openly and honestly so that you are more likely to determine whether I’m the right fit for you.

She works with adults on a wide variety of concerns, and can offer culturally informed support as a therapist of colour. She is a female therapist and can work with clients who identify as Christian, older adults, or non-religious.

Many people wonder whether remote counselling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients are free to switch to another therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical and effective way to work on mental health and wellbeing.
