Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical ways to cope day to day as well as understanding deeper patterns that keep someone stuck. Her background includes clinical psychology studies and a postgraduate diploma in counselling and psychotherapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, recorded as BACP, and has experience across community mental health services and crisis work.

Canse draws on attachment-based, client-centred, psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas when offering support. That lets her blend short-term coping tools with conversations about past experiences that affect present life. She also works with trauma-focused approaches when needed.

People often come to Canse for stress, depression, relationship and family issues, eating and food-related concerns, addiction, or for help managing life changes. She also has additional focus on issues such as shame, abandonment, dissociation and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

How Can Therapy Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and self-worth. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and practise new ways of relating to others and themselves. Client-centred therapy focuses on a supportive, non-judgemental conversation that follows the client's pace and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard, build confidence and find their own solutions to anxiety, low mood or life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Canse will talk with each person about their needs, history and goals and then agree a plan together. That plan can change as therapy progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls work well for interactive conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversations or want more frequent, brief contact. These options increase flexibility and help people access support from different locations and timeframes.
