Description of therapy services:
I believe that at times we all get a bit “stuck” or overwhelmed by our circumstances and emotions; I see that as a very human condition and the meeting place between us all. I always aim to help you make sense of your situation without judgement and together identify the tools that can best support you through life's inevitable ups and downs..

Experience of working online
I have worked with clients online as part of my training and since, via email, chat and VoIP. I am additionally experienced in telephone therapy and life-coaching, with over 15years experience in face-to-face work. I am very comfortable with online communication and exploring emotional issues via this medium.
