If you’re looking for affordable quality online therapy via Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Meet and Messenger video, you’ve come to the right place.

I'm a British registered counsellor and psychotherapist, specialising in teaching my clients skills to manage stress, depression and anxiety within the context of work and personal relationships. I have an international perspective, working with clients in 20+ countries.

I’m sensible, super private, and LGBTQ affirming.

About Me

I'm Scottish-Dutch, married to an American, and have lived and worked in Malaysia, Indonesia and Spain. We have recently relocated to Thornaby, England with our Malaysian rescue cats Target, Tic Tac and Inkie. I work with a multi-cultural client base in over 20 counties in South East Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Australasia and North America.

Online & Super Private

I hold sessions online via WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, Google Meet and Messenger. Video conferencing and voice calls mean we can work together - but you don't have to travel to see me. It's efficient and very discreet. If you are concerned about privacy, please know that I do my own paperwork. Nobody will know you see me or what we talk about.

Formal Education

I have a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology from Stirling University, Scotland and a Masters with Distinction in Counselling from Open University Malaysia. I have various professional memberships. This included being a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, a member of the Malaysia Mental Health Organisation and an Associate Member of the Malaysian Psychological Association.

Approach

I am an eclectic practitioner, which means I use various therapy techniques. My favourites include individual therapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy.

You Choose

When we talk, I'll suggest a strategy that I think will suit you best. When there are choices of approaches, I will explain the pros and cons of each, and how they work, and you choose which you want to use.

Coaching or Therapy?

Psychotherapy focusses on healing. Therapists are trained to recognise and treat emotional and mental health issues. Coaching does not involve healing. Coaches are motivators and accountability partners that help you reach very specific goals. My coaching focuses solely on creative, academic, and business writing.

First Chat Is Free

Once you drop me an email, we'll have a very brief conversation to make sure the technology works for us and that we can work together. It lasts about 15 minutes and is free. If we click, we schedule sessions.

Cost

Sessions last an hour and cost £35 via Wise, PayPal or direct deposit.

Personal

I am LGBTQ-affirming. I am also an atheist. Normally that doesn't come up in conversation but if you're looking to talk through questions of infidelity, sexuality, gender, divorce, abortion and other life issues without a religious perspective, you may find that information useful.
