How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns in thoughts and in relationships, which is helpful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and relationship conflict.Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's own experience and pace. In practice this means sessions give space for clients to speak in their own way while the counsellor listens and reflects. This can suit people who want to clarify values, cope with life changes or work through low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at the emotional responses that keep problems active and encourages new ways of connecting with feelings. It is often used for intimacy-related issues, grief or deep relationship hurt and can be carried out effectively in talking-based online sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss the different methods and work with the client to decide what to try first, based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as therapy proceeds.
Session formats used by this counsellor should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow sessions without video, which can help with quieter surroundings or shorter appointments.
