Background and approach

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, depression, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue. Digna uses a blend of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thinking patterns and uses client-centred listening to build a trusting space.

Attachment-based ideas inform her understanding of relationship patterns and emotional responses. Sessions are designed around what the client wants to achieve. Conversations focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and trying manageable changes between meetings.

Digna aims to support clearer communication, steadier mood, and better coping with life transitions. She is mindful of cultural differences and takes multicultural concerns into account when tailoring support. People who are navigating career decisions, parenting stresses, or relationship breakdowns will find a practical and empathetic approach in her work.

How Digna’s approaches translate to online therapy

Digna blends a few established approaches to help people get practical relief and build healthier patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking values-based steps forward; it is useful for anxiety, stress and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping with intimacy issues, trust and communication.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be adjusted as you go, so sessions remain focused on what you want to change or understand.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let you check in more frequently or take time to write things down. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to try different ways of working until you find what helps most.
