How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers attentive listening, acceptance and reflection so people can better understand their feelings and decide what matters to them. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, relationship concerns and self-esteem work.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and choice. It helps people facing life changes, grief, emptiness or questions about identity to clarify what matters and to find ways forward that feel authentic to them.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will check what a person needs, discuss options, and tailor the way of working to match goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and comfort.
