Sally emphasises clear, down-to-earth dialogue and helps people take small, achievable steps towards change. She has particular experience with communication problems, infidelity, forgiveness and midlife questioning. Sally also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth, women’s issues, and non-monogamous relationship arrangements when these are a focus of concern.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support
Sally uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One common approach she employs helps people understand and change patterns in relationships and communication, teaching clear skills for talking and resolving conflict. This type of work suits issues such as repeated rows, infidelity, blended family tensions and parenting disagreements.She also uses trauma-informed methods that prioritise safety and pacing, helping people process difficult experiences in small steps and manage symptoms like panic attacks. These techniques aim to reduce distress and rebuild a sense of control over daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sally works collaboratively to identify what feels helpful, adjusting techniques to match each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options and checks in regularly to refine the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video suits face-to-face conversation, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, and messaging can be useful for short check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
