In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to each person. She aims to support people through difficult life events and help them find clearer ways forward. She uses client-centred listening so people can feel heard and understood.
Her approach also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships and patterns. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to help with stress, concentration and coping with strong emotions.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. People can expect practical conversations, tools to manage day-to-day challenges, and a focus on building steadier ways of relating to themselves and others.

How these approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach give space for people to tell their story and shape the direction of work at their own pace.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions influence relationships and patterns. In an online setting this can help people notice repeated reactions and practise new ways of connecting with themselves and others.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase clarity. These techniques are easy to try during remote sessions and useful for managing anxiety or strong feelings between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few methods and adjusting as progress is made.
