CONTACT
I offer online video sessions. My sessions are usually conducted via FaceTime, WhatsApp Video, Facebook Video and Google Meets. I am a fully qualified, accredited and BACP-registered counsellor, but therapy is always about feeling comfortable enough to talk, which is why I offer a 30min FREE taster session to see if I am the right counsellor for you.

Our relationship is therapeutic and limited to pre-arranged therapy sessions.
You are encouraged to disclose any other current therapeutic or helping relationships you are engaged in and any medication you may be using to treat emotional or psychological states.
To maximise our therapeutic relationship, you are encouraged to share your perception of the effectiveness of our sessions.
Appointments cancelled without 24 hours notice may be charged.
