Background and approach

She keeps language simple and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques, alongside client-centred listening and emotion-focused work. This mix lets her address how past relationship patterns affect current difficulties, and also teach practical strategies for immediate stress relief.

Trish has around ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and carries the BACP credential. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including addiction, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, jealousy and issues around commitment. People meet a calm, non-judgemental counsellor who aims to make sessions straightforward.

Trish encourages gradual progress and checks in regularly about what is or is not helping. She supports each person to find approaches that fit their life and goals.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions help people notice those patterns, name emotions and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation, giving space for whatever comes up while the counsellor offers non-judgemental support.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on helpful, practical steps.
