How her approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. It helps people feel understood and to make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and practical behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood to teach coping skills and test new ways of thinking.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That discussion can include trying different techniques and checking what is most useful over time.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to fit a session into a lunch break or between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to involve mindfulness or homework tasks between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing so therapy fits practical routines and personal goals.
