Background and approach

Starnta supports people through grief, trauma and the aftermath of abuse, and she also helps with issues such as low self-esteem and addictions. Her background includes work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement counselling through Cruse. That experience informs how she approaches trauma and painful life events.

She has also worked with young adults around exam stress, confidence, suicidal thoughts and self-harm. In practice she combines person-centred care with techniques from attachment work, cognitive behavioural methods and trauma-focused approaches. The aim is to tailor sessions to what each person needs rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan.

Starnta offers short focused courses or longer-term work depending on what is helpful. People can expect a calm, straightforward approach that aims to make things clearer. Starnta invites potential clients to start by explaining their situation, so therapy can be shaped to personal goals and practical circumstances.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help people who notice repeated patterns in relationships or who struggle with trust and closeness.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers and pace for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that suit the person. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit short check-ins or tighter schedules. These options make it simpler to keep appointments around work, study or family commitments while still getting regular support.
