How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect your values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns influence current relationships and closeness, and can be useful for intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and respect, giving time for people to find their own solutions and build self-understanding.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, needs and preferences and together decide which approaches to try first. That collaboration means methods can shift over time if something is not helping.
The biography notes she offers remote sessions and holds a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into study, work or commuting schedules easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats need less bandwidth or no camera, which can help when you prefer a quieter experience or a brief session during a lunch break.
