Online therapist in the UK
Online therapy gives you access to a confidential therapeutic space without needing to travel.
It can be useful if you live outside London, travel regularly, have caring responsibilities, or feel more comfortable speaking from your own space.
I offer online therapy for adults and couples across the UK, with support for relationships, trauma, addiction recovery, ADHD and emotional patterns that feel difficult to manage.

Why online therapy?
A flexible way to access therapy
Online therapy can make it easier to begin or continue therapy when attending in person is difficult.
Online sessions can still offer a steady, confidential and focused space to talk.
Online therapy sessions take place by video call, through Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or other agreed platforms.
Whether you are looking for online counselling or longer-term online psychotherapy, we can talk about what feels right during the initial call.
