How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens and reflects so people can find their own solutions. This helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings or build confidence in making decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to change patterns that keep problems like anxiety or low mood going. CBT is often used for panic attacks, social anxiety and sleep difficulties.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment noticing and simple attention practices. It can reduce rumination and help with stress, repeated worry and emotional overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt what they do to fit the client’s needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and reviewed over time.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel and offer a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use this flexibility to keep therapy practical and usable around everyday life.
