Background and approach

Codie also supports people concerned about body image, panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation and relationship fallout such as divorce and separation. Her style is client-focused and adaptable. Sessions use a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her, often drawing on person-centred conversations, play-based elements where helpful, and cognitive techniques for managing thoughts and feelings.

The emphasis is on practical ways to reduce worry and build coping skills. Codie has experience in risk assessment and safeguarding and is used to working with multi-disciplinary teams when that is needed. She holds BACP credentialing which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions at times that work for them. Codie aims to support each person to set clear goals and take small steps towards feeling steadier.

How practical approaches work online

Codie often uses person-centred conversation and cognitive techniques in online work. Person-centred conversation focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it can help with low self-esteem, grief and feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple exercises to reduce worry and panic symptoms.

She also blends play-based elements when appropriate to help people express feelings in a different way, which can be useful for reducing emotional tension and improving communication skills. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that match those aims, and adjust the plan together over time.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is helpful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messages suit people who prefer writing or need more flexible timing. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
