How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and codependency patterns where taking small valued steps matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for low mood, anxiety and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals and situation. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and sessions aim to reflect those preferences.
The original biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online arrangements help fit therapy into busy lives, for example by making it easier to schedule brief check-ins during work breaks or avoiding travel time. Online work also makes it simpler to continue with therapy when life circumstances change, while still focusing on practical skills and emotional coping taught through ACT and CBT.
