Absolutely. I can provide telehealth therapy sessions and stress management coaching support online. I also offer a range of digital stress management tools, including free guided audio relaxation exercises and the Whitworth Stressometer, that you can use anywhere.

The Whitworth Stressometer is a simple tool I developed to help you track and understand your stress levels throughout the day. This helps you return to a calmer state of mind, so you can think, behave, and communicate in alignment with your values and preferences. Find out more here.
