Yes I do. You do not have to be based locally within my region, to receive therapy as sessions are being conducted via a video platform. Please get in touch, if you wish to discuss this further.
Will my counselling sessions be confidential?
Yes, all therapy sessions are confidential. However I retain the right to break confidentiality without prior consultation with you, should I consider that the urgency of the situation requires me to act immediately to safeguard the physical safety of yourself and others.

If you have medical insurance I am registered with the following providers: - Aviva, Vitality Health and Aetna Global Benefits. (It is advised to speak to your insurance company first and obtain an authorisation code).
