Background and approach
That includes practical coping strategies and space to reflect on harder emotions. Her background includes eight years of direct mental health and behavioural counselling across varied settings. During that time she has worked with adults on problems such as anger, depression, motivation and confidence.

She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to surface unhelpful thoughts and helps clients clarify values and take meaningful steps.
Attachment-informed work is used to look at how relationships shape current reactions. In early sessions she focuses on what matters most to the person and agrees clear, realistic goals. Sessions blend practical skill-building with space to process difficult experiences.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past and current relationships and how they affect feelings and behaviour in the present. It can help with intimacy, communication problems and responses to loss or abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and choose or combine methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process so adjustments can be made as understanding develops.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Chat and messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection between meetings, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
