Those interested in working with her are asked to use the service Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How counselling approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they shape current expectations and closeness, which is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions, using empathy and acceptance to create space for reflection and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs become clearer.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a hectic day. The profile indicates that instant messaging, webcam and voice (telephone) have been used in this practice, but readers should confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help keep continuity of care and make it simpler to attend regularly.
