My approach...
Are you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or just need someone to talk to? Here's an overview of how I consistently help others access the mental healthcare they need:
A Personalised Approach
As a person-centred therapist, I believe that you are the expert on your own self. Sessions will focus on your unique experiences, thoughts, and feelings, allowing you to explore your emotions in a safe and supportive environment, without judgement.
Flexible
& Convenient
Connect with me from the comfort of your home. Our online, chat / text or telephone sessions eliminate travel time and allow you to schedule appointments that fit your lifestyle, making it easier for you to prioritise your mental health.
Compassionate Listening
I provide a non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely. Through active listening and empathy, I will help you gain insights, clarify your thoughts, and explore solutions at your own pace.
Empowerment
& Growth
Together, we’ll work to identify your goals and develop strategies to achieve them. My aim is to empower you, fostering self-discovery and personal growth throughout our journey together.
No Waiting Lists
My simple and straightforward approach to booking a session allows you to get the help you need and when you need it.
​
There's no lengthy waiting times to access help with your mental health.
Confidential & Safe
Your privacy is my priority. All sessions are confidential, ensuring you feel secure sharing your thoughts and feelings.
