Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on the person’s existing strengths.

Across eight years of work she has provided direct clinical care and also contributed to education, research and art workshops.

Prospective clients can expect a respectful, calm space and a focus on practical strategies to make life more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and take action based on personal values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It suits people wrestling with anxiety, stress or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that heighten distress and practising new strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, empathy and supporting the person to find their own solutions; it helps build confidence and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions usually start with simple goals, trials of techniques, and regular check-ins to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is required. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer written reflection or want frequent, brief touchpoints rather than scheduled calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, and to continue progress even when routines change.
