She discusses working arrangements and boundaries during an initial telephone consultation so a person can ask practical questions before booking.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She encourages clear discussion about what someone wants from counselling and how different approaches might help. The emphasis is on practical conversation about current difficulties and how to move forward step by step.
How her approaches can work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach look at how attachment styles affect trust and intimacy, and aim to develop more helpful ways of connecting with others.Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and reflection. In video sessions this often means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflecting back what is said and helping the client clarify feelings and choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. When used online it can include short practical exercises and agreed actions to try between sessions to address anxiety or low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide collaboratively which combination of methods suits a person’s needs, goals and preferences.
Session arrangements are confirmed during the initial consultation. The biography states she works nationally via video platforms, such as Zoom, but people should confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or caring responsibilities, allow check-ins during busy weeks and remove the need to travel.
