What is the purpose of counselling?

Counselling opens up a space in your life where you can be supported to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop new insights and self-acceptance. It can support you to move away from feeling stuck, towards making the changes that you seek.

Counselling can help you overcome the difficulties that have held you back, often affecting both your emotional and physical health and provide you with the insights and tools to live your life with joy, peace, and purpose.

Why people seek therapy?

People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are dealing with long-term mental health struggles like trauma, depression, burnout, anxiety or panic attacks, while others are processing bereavement, coping with the loss of a loved one or managing major life changes. Many clients choose therapy with me to increase self-awareness and work on personal growth.

Ultimately people seek therapy because they want to feel better, make sense of their experiences, and find healthier ways to navigate the challenges they face. Therapy with me provides a safe, confidential space where individuals can receive guidance, support, and tools for emotional and psychological growth.

What is Integrative Counseling?

Integrative counseling combines a variety of therapeutic techniques from different approaches, allowing me to create a therapy plan that is as unique as you are. Rather than following one rigid method, I draw on the most effective tools from several therapeutic models, such Psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment theory, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT), Neuroscience and Creative Therapy to help you navigate through life's challenges.

I offer a 20-minute introductory online or telephone consultation free of charge.

This is an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have. You may tell me a little about yourself and the issues you are struggling with and we can discuss how I might be able to help.
It might be daunting to start seeing a new therapist, especially if this is your first time in therapy.
However, I hope that therapy may quickly turn into a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and inspired.

Flexible and secure online counselling

Recognising that modern life can be fast-paced and geographically diverse, I offer online counselling

(in the UK & the EU). Remote sessions bring the benefits of therapy right to your doorstep, allowing you to access support from the comfort of your own space.

I use Zoom for online sessions, a free, secure, and user-friendly platform. If you’re new to Zoom, I can guide you through how to download it if you’d like to give it a try. To meet me online you will need:

A private space where you won’t be disturbed or overheard
Access to a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and audio
A stable and secure internet connection
