She also supports parents who are navigating blended family issues, caregiver stress and communication problems at home. Her background includes many years working with children and families in voluntary and community settings.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships, and is often useful for concerns about bonding, abandonment and attachment issues.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection, helping people find their own answers and build self-trust. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. The counsellor will discuss options and collaborate with the person to decide what fits best and what to try first. Goals, personal preferences and what feels manageable all guide the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick reflections and for people who find writing helps them process thoughts.

These formats can make it simpler to fit sessions around parenting, work and daily routines while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists who will tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
