She helps people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and being present with a person, helping them gain clarity and confidence to make choices. It suits worries like anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns where reflective conversation helps untangle thoughts and feelings.Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to address habits, phobias and stress responses. It can be a gentle option for things such as specific fears or sleep and eating-related goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide whether person-centred listening, hypnotherapy or trauma-focused techniques are the best fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as you progress.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and offer options that suit quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions fit your routine and goals.
