She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coaching for workplace and life changes.

She holds a Master of Science (MSc) in Mindfulness Studies from the University of Aberdeen and is a senior accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She often addresses communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, infidelity and separation.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches specific techniques to shift them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, useful for anger, relationship conflict and intense emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and chooses methods collaboratively. That may mean combining talking, practical skills and mindfulness exercises to suit the issue and the individual.
The biography does not specify session formats, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and lower the need to be on camera for every appointment. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, routinely adapt their methods for remote meetings and will agree with the client how best to work together.
