I offer two online services: online counselling* and online mentoring and coaching. These services are avaliable in realtime or via email.

I believe that internet counselling, or as I prefer it to be known Online Counselling, has benefits in assisting people who are unhappy, having relationship problems, suffering from grief, anxiety, loneliness, depression or who are just struggling with day to day issues.

My theoretical approach employs different tools from the schools of Client Centred, Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural to assist my clients through the individual issues, pressures and problems within their lives.

As far as I am concerned the loss of face-to-face interaction is only a slight disadvantage with online counselling. One of the great advantages of online counselling over face to face counselling is the anonymity of the client, which allows greater self-disclosure assuring our time is spent wisely on the real issue and the core problems. In addition, the added bonus of the client accessing this service from their own home or work at a convenient time enhances the opportunity for them to relax during the session.

*This service is not intended for individuals who are suffering from a severe mental/emotional disorder and are actively contemplating suicide. If this describes you, please contact a suicide prevention service in your local area.

Throughout my university studies and professional practice I have focused a large amount of study on Organisation Psychology in the areas of Job Satisfaction, Communication, Organisational Climate and Culture, Organisational Change, Training and Interpersonal Skills. Hence, my reason for offering this second service of mentoring managers and professionals through the difficulties that they may face within organisations.

The process of mentoring involves forming a professional relationship and discussing the various concerns managers may have with their role within an organisation. Online mentoring includes looking at personal and professional issues and developing strategies to help overcome these problems and assist the manager to reach his/her full potential.

The mentoring/coaching service is aimed at managers and professionals, however, the coaching process can be utilised to enhance your personal life so this service is also recommended for people who are looking for personal direction and motivation.
