Background and approach
With four years of professional experience, Antoinette has helped people navigate panic attacks, workplace stress and social anxiety. She also supports those facing chronic illness, ageing challenges, separation and feelings of guilt or shame. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking are common priorities in her work.
People who want help quitting smoking or vaping, finding purpose, or managing midlife transitions often seek her support. Antoinette adapts her approach to the issue at hand and to each person’s pace. She encourages small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by phone, video, live chat or text messaging. Antoinette asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and to schedule sessions that suit their timetable.
Evidence-based approaches and online delivery
Antoinette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and managing symptoms. One approach emphasises learning strategies to reduce panic and anxiety by changing unhelpful thinking and breathing patterns; this helps people who experience panic attacks and intense worry. Another approach centres on building coping skills for stress and life changes, teaching short exercises and small behavioural steps to regain control and confidence.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Antoinette works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She will check in and adapt strategies as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and usable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth, and chat or text are helpful for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options allow people to fit sessions into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
