Working Online

Online counselling offers a flexible, confidential space where you can work with me from wherever you feel most comfortable. Many people find that being in their own environment helps them feel more at ease and able to talk openly about what is on their mind and in their body. Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as traditional face‑to‑face work for many common mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression, and that strong therapeutic relationships can form over video calls when there is comfort and trust in the connection.

I use Doxy.me, a secure, GDPR‑compliant platform designed for healthcare professionals. You connect in real time via video without needing to download software or create an account. Sessions are encrypted and confidential, which means your privacy and safety are prioritised.

​

There are several benefits to online counselling. It can make therapy more accessible, especially if you live a distance from Horsham or have mobility, health, work or caring commitments that make attending in person difficult or impossible. Online therapy also reduces common barriers such as travel time and expense, and can fit more easily around busy schedules. Many people find that the comfort of their own space supports honesty, reduces anxiety about attending appointments, and helps them settle into the work sooner.

​

All you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection. You do not need to be near public transport or worry about parking, and you can continue your sessions even if your circumstances change, such as during travel or relocation.
