Background and approach
She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build useful habits. Mindfulness practice is offered when it suits the person’s goals. She has worked in public and personal mental health settings and has been involved in academic research and publication.
This background informs a measured, clear approach to therapy and to setting realistic, step-by-step goals. People who choose to work with her can expect collaborative planning, short-term strategies for urgent concerns, and longer-term work on resilience and life decisions. Her aim is to help people feel heard, regain stability and make practical changes that fit their daily lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. ACT focuses on values and small committed actions to move life in a chosen direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support better coping in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is often a process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences and current situation. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan so the work fits the person’s life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for people who prefer typed reflection or need a flexible way to send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, study or caregiving routines while using the approaches above to address anxiety, stress and related concerns.
