Her approach is collaborative - she invites people to set the pace and the topics for each session.
Background and approach
She will help you map out small steps you can try between meetings, and she checks in on what is or is not helping. Connie has three years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation. That background informs a straightforward, person-focused practice rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
People who come to Connie often want help coping after loss, reducing worrying and stress, or repairing strained relationships. She aims to support each person to build more self-compassion and clearer ways of relating to others. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video, phone, live chat or messaging.
Connie encourages an initial conversation to see whether her way of working feels like a good fit.
Practical approaches and online support
Connie draws on widely used, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with grief, anxiety and stress. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and step-by-step strategies to reduce worrying and manage strong emotions; it breaks problems into small, doable tasks and helps people try new responses in daily life. Another approach concentrates on relationship patterns and attachment - it looks at how early or current connections shape feelings and reactions, and helps people practice different ways of relating that feel healthier.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Connie works collaboratively to identify goals and experiments that suit each person's needs and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is reviewed over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face meetings, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy lives while keeping the focus on useful, everyday change.
