In sessions she listens first and asks practical questions about what is hard right now. She uses approaches such as client-centred work to follow what a person finds most important. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Her practice includes narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. Solution-focused methods are used to set concrete steps and manageable goals between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's priorities and reflecting what they say to help them make sense of feelings. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through anger, grief or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It often uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger and change unhelpful patterns.

Narrative Therapy involves working with the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. It can help separate a person from a problem and open up different ways of responding to stress or past hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can be tried and adapted as needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of appointments around daily life, fewer journeys and the option to continue work from different locations. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that online sessions allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing that suits work, caregiving or study commitments.
