About Imalka

Background and approach
This breadth informs how she tailors sessions to each person. Immie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a holistic perspective on wellbeing. She helps clients set clear, realistic goals for life, work and relationships.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person's needs. She also supports people facing relationship tensions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, ADHD concerns, and other stress-related issues. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and difficulty with communication.
In sessions Immie focuses on practical steps alongside personal values. She works beside clients to build skills and clearer priorities. The aim is to help people make changes that feel meaningful and manageable in everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Immie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issue at hand. One approach focuses on clarifying values and using them to set meaningful goals - this helps when life feels directionless or choices are overwhelming. Another approach emphasises practical skill-building, teaching coping strategies for anxiety, stress and impulse control so people can manage difficult moments more effectively.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Immie works collaboratively to choose what fits best. She will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adapt techniques as therapy progresses, checking in to make sure the direction remains helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can work for short check-ins, brief reflections or when written communication feels easier. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
