How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps that move life in a chosen direction, which can help with stress and low mood.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It teaches practical strategies for reducing anxiety and handling panic attacks, as well as breaking down big problems into manageable tasks.
She will work with the client to decide which approach or mix of approaches suits their needs. That choice is made together, based on the person’s goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions. The counsellor will adjust the way she works if something is not helping.
The biography lists video sessions and messaging as the formats she uses. If you need other formats, check the booking details before you arrange a session. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or study, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Messaging can suit people who prefer to write between live sessions.
