About Me

Online and Telephone Counselling can be very helpful – particularly in these times of COVID-19, social distancing is so imperative, so this may be the only way that you can get the help and support you need.

Online counselling via video conference platforms such as Zoom or WhatsApp and Telephone Counselling can be convenient ways for you to access good and effective help. If you suffer from social anxiety you will be in the comfort of your own home which you may find more comfortable and easier to open up, and also there are no travel costs which makes it more affordable.
