How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional safety. In practice this means exploring how early bonds shape current feelings and patterns, which can help with anxiety, intimacy and sleep issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions; the counsellor listens deeply and reflects back what matters most, useful for people needing steady support during stressful times. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, often used for addictions, lifestyle shifts or sustaining new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that feel most useful. Decisions about methods and pace are made collaboratively, with adjustments as things progress.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to talking through patterns and planning small steps, which can be helpful for sleep routines, managing stress or working on motivation.
