What do you love most about your job?
I love being able to help people give themselves a better life and become their best selves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I saw a gap in the market, and I'm endeavouring to fill it!
Why should our clients choose you?
Why choose me? That's a difficult question, because there are so many good therapists out there. If you're looking to know yourself better, if you're looking to help yourself and those around you, or if you feel stuck, then I'd be a good choice of therapist.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I only provide online services. We work through Zoom. Let me know if you need help downloading the app.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Luckily, online, Covid-19 doesn't pose much of a threat.
One-to-one Counselling (Online)
Although people may prefer face-to-face counselling for personal reasons, there has been much research showing that online support is as effective as offline support.
We are able to provide counselling over platforms such as Zoom. We use Zoom because it doesn’t record any data from the meetings arranged. This complies with current UK GDPR policies.
Online counselling can be beneficial to cut travel costs, both on time and money. Writing your thoughts and feelings may be easier than speaking them aloud. If this is the case, email therapy may be for you.
Many email providers encrypt their data as they send it, so email is a safe and secure way to conduct therapy.
However, without the vocal or physical cues that therapists work with often, there is the danger of miscommunication.
It may also be difficult to focus on the therapy when working on a platform that you use for other forms of communication.
Couples Counselling (online)
Although people may prefer face-to-face counselling for personal reasons, there has been much research showing that online support is as effective as offline support. We are able to provide counselling over platforms such as Zoom. We use Zoom because it doesn’t record any data from the meetings arranged. This complies with current UK GDPR policies. Online counselling can be beneficial to cut travel costs, both on time and money, especially if you're accessing counselling as a couple.
Workshops (Online) (On Demand)
Two types of workshops are presented each month at Gathering Thoughts. One is titled a 'topic workshop' and is aimed at anyone interested in psychology and mental health. The topic workshops aim to increase public education, provide personal insight, and encourage conversations around mental health. The second kind of workshop is aimed at parents. The 'parental workshops' aim to help parents understand and support their children throughout their lives. All workshops are interactive, fun, and based in scientific fact. Workshops are becoming available on demand on Patreon. Please visit our Patreon page or contact us for more information.
