How does online counselling and online therapy work?
First of all, we all experience situations and feelings which we struggle with at some point in our lives, and at times, these challenges can be difficult to manage, online counselling can help.
Online Counselling and online therapy is a convenient way to share your worries, make sense of your thoughts and feelings and start working through them with a caring professional with the compassion and skills to help you.
Talking about personal aspects of our lives may feel daunting at first, most people find it a great relief simply to be listened to and heard, consequently sharing your worries is the best way to solve them, a problem shared is a problem fixed, that’s my goal.
You can communicate with me in lots of convenient ways:

Messenger – TypeChat, Phone or Video
Whatsapp – TypeChat, Phone or Video
Email
A good counsellor is a caring, skilled professional, I won’t judge you, I will make the counselling journey as easy as possible for you. I have worked hard to remove a lot of the barriers to seeking professional help and support.
My aim is to provide you with therapeutic tools to make things better, furthermore the strategies you will learn will not only get you through your difficult ‘now’ but they will go on helping you deal with all of life’s challenges throughout your entire life.
Whatever your issues, stress, relationship difficulties, break-ups, bereavement or past abuse, these are just some of the issues which often compound problems and effect our emotional well-ness.
As a result, online counselling and therapy can begin to unravel, not only the small stuff but the more complex issues, together we can build a stronger ‘self’ and foundations for your future.
In conclusion, online counselling and therapy is really about learning about ourselves, improving self awareness and confidence and learning how to cope better with the challenges.
A clearer perspective and understanding of what makes us tick, makes us more confident and better equipped emotionally to deal with current challenges, as well as any future problems.

The counsellor’s story
A few years ago during a difficult period of my own life, I really benefited from counselling. The acceptance, insight and unconditional positive regard I received from my counsellor inspired me to train and become a counsellor/therapist.
I’ve now worked in counselling for 16 years since qualifying in 2002. For me there is no better feeling than helping someone to reach their full potential and happiness.
I started offering online counselling 13 years ago to improve counselling services in terms of accessibility, convenience, cost and to reduce the stigma counselling had at that time.
Furthermore, by removing those barriers, I am able to reach out and help people by providing a much more accessible and personal counselling experience, which can be tailored to the individuals needs.
Finally, combining counselling models such as humanistic, person centred counselling with practical life coaching strategies, I can support clients through their issues and as a result, provide them with the therapeutic tools to create a happier future from the very beginning of the counselling process.
