I am registered with the ACTO as a recognised trained provider of Electronic Counselling. I have completed the BACP training requirements to offer electronic counselling, including email, message, phone, and online sessions. I have found that online counselling has its own dynamic and effectiveness that face-to-face counselling does not. You could find that you talk more during online or telephone sessions, or because you are not focused on my reactions or body language, you may find it easier to talk more openly.

I offer a mix of online and face-to-face if you would prefer.

'When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity—then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship offered by an empathic person… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.' - Carl Rogers

Simple to set up– You need an email address and an user name. The online platforms are readily available and easy to download.
Online counselling does not involve transport or travel time.
Fits around you. You need to find a quiet room. Can offer it different times during the day or evening which is a huge benefit for many of my clients who are in different time zones than me.
It is convenient and you can look for the area of specialism you want without worrying about location
Can be used anywhere– Mobile phones and laptops are transportable. The only consideration is the access you have to the internet.
