Counselling Support Tailored to You

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or angry? Are you coping with the loss of a loved one? Perhaps you have reached a point in your life where you are facing significant changes and finding them difficult to manage.

I offer a safe, confidential, and supportive space where you can explore your concerns and make sense of what is happening in your life. Through a compassionate and non-judgemental approach, I aim to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, enabling you to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw upon a range of therapeutic theories and approaches to meet the unique needs of each client. This means that counselling is tailored to you as an individual, rather than following a single model or method. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing, gain greater insight into your experiences, and identify a way forward that feels right for you.

I provide counselling for children, young people, adults, and older adults online via Microsoft Teams or the Psychology Today platform. Telephone counselling is also available; however, I generally recommend video sessions, as seeing one another can help foster a trusting and comfortable therapeutic relationship.

In addition, I offer home visits for clients who live within travelling distance of my home in Bishop Auckland.

Considering Online Counselling?

If you are thinking, “Online counselling isn’t for me”, I completely understand. It can feel unfamiliar at first. However, many people discover that they actually prefer online counselling due to the flexibility and convenience it offers.

There is no travel time, and poor weather does not prevent you from attending sessions. If you are feeling slightly unwell, you may still feel comfortable participating from the privacy of your own home. Many clients find that being in a familiar environment helps them feel more relaxed and able to engage openly in therapy.

Children and young people can also adapt very well to online counselling. For many, communicating digitally is already a natural and familiar part of everyday life. Online sessions often feel comfortable and accessible, allowing young people to engage confidently in the therapeutic process. As many teenagers would say, they do not even have to leave their room.
