I'm an Integrative Attachment-Based Counsellor, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to best support your unique needs, with a particular focus on how early relationships shape your emotional world today. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy offers a helpful overview of this approach and others on their website.

With experience in both online and in-person therapy, I can confidently say that I online counselling is just as effective as in-person sessions.

Working online helps to remove many common barriers to accessing support. There's no time spent commuting, and it's often easier to fit therapy into your day.

Whether you're at home, at work, or elsewhere, you can attend sessions from a space that feels safe and familiar.

As an online therapist, I'm able to work with you wherever you are in the UK, making therapy more accessible and flexible to suit your lifestyle.

Counselling is currently unregulated in the UK, which makes it especially important to choose someone with the appropriate training, experience, clinical supervision, and professional insurance. As an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I am committed to maintaining high professional standards. This includes regular supervision, ongoing professional development, and upholding the ethical framework set by the BACP. Hopefully, this website has given you a sense of who I am and how I work. Beyond qualifications, the most important factor is whether you feel a connection - that sense of trust and ease that allows a therapeutic relationship to develop. I've been in your shoes and I would honestly say that this is a 'gut feeling'. If your're curious, feel free to book an introductory chat. There's no pressure, and we can simply see how it feels to talk.
