She uses practical, conversational methods to help people untangle current problems.

Emotionally-focused and solution-focused approaches appear in her work to help with relationships and concrete next steps.
Her background includes work in private practice, hospitals and GP surgeries, educational settings, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system. That range means she has experience with varied presenting problems and different service settings. She aims to work with each persons strengths and preferences rather than using a single fixed method.
Practical issues such as coping with grief, addiction, parenting stress, eating concerns and anger are part of her caseload. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and overlapping difficulties like co-morbidity or codependency.

How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the persons concerns and preferences. The counsellor listens and follows what matters most, helping people shape goals in their own words. This approach is useful for emotional issues and deciding what to work on next.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It involves practical exercises and steps to try between sessions to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns. CBT is often chosen for stress, anxiety and mood concerns.
Emotionally-focused ideas help with close relationships and understanding strong feelings. They can support work on attachment, intimacy issues and relationship strain.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options and agree a plan based on the persons goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can work online in ways that suit daily life without asking people to change their routines.
