Who we are?

SLA-Counselling.com & SLA-Counselling.co.uk

Established on the 1st November 2016 as a small independent company, aiming to help people help themselves using online platforms, where people who feel like they don't have time or can not leave the home, can still access professional counselling support.

During the COVID-19 pandemic where going out wasn't always an option, the availability of online video conferencing (online face-to-face) made it possible for people across the world to communicate with each other and get help, whilst still remaining isolated or in a safer environment, lessening the risk of bumping into someone who has the virus.

AWARDS:

GHP Award 2023 - Excellence Award for Online Mental Health Counselling 2023

FEEDBACK:

"I was in a very low place and have come a long way since then. I haven’t felt this clear headed in a very long time so thank you for helping me through that."

I have over 6 years experience in Talking Therapies as a Counsellor, following in my mother's footsteps. I trained as a Counsellor - starting with Sheffield Colleges, then doing Online Courses before heading to Leeds Beckett to complete my PG Cert in Counselling.  Further qualifications include but not limited to, Mindfulness, 'Cruze' Bereavement and Pastoral Care & Counselling. I am a Senior Member of the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists organisation (ACCPH).

I specialise in the areas that I have had help in: Bereavement, Anxiety & Depression, sharing my experiences in improving my Mental Wellbeing, by helping those in need, in person and through applications like Zoom. Through utilising my experiences, I also help the online community: Bloggers, and anyone who feels they either cannot go out or don't have the time to travel to an office for face-to-face therapy, and those with addicted to Social Media and Video Gaming.

With Pastoral Care experience, this allows me to reach out to members of different religions, as it can be difficult with the ongoing historical stigma associated with the broken link between Religion and Mental Health.
