Accessibility

Accessible online therapy

I offer online counselling via Zoom to adults across the UK.

Online therapy can reduce some of the barriers that can make accessing support difficult, including travel, mobility issues, busy schedules, or living far from suitable services.

For some people, attending therapy from their own environment can also feel more comfortable and less overwhelming than attending an unfamiliar location.

Neurodiversity and communication

I aim to make therapy accessible for neurodivergent clients and welcome conversations about what helps you engage with counselling.

This may include:

• using clear and direct language

• allowing time to process thoughts before responding

• adjusting the pace of sessions

• checking understanding rather than making assumptions

• allowing movement, stimming or sensory supports during sessions

• providing written information where helpful

Disability and access needs

I recognise that disability, chronic illness, mental health and access needs can affect people’s experiences of therapy.

If there are adjustments that would make sessions more accessible for you, please let me know. We can discuss what might work best.

Before starting online therapy

It can be helpful to consider:

• having a private space where you feel comfortable talking

• using headphones if appropriate

• making sure you have a reliable internet connection

• having anything you need nearby, such as water or sensory supports

If you have questions about accessibility before booking, you are welcome to get in touch.
