She is a licensed, certified Complex Trauma Integrative and Somatic psychotherapist and psychologist and holds professional credentials BACP and NCPS, which reflect recognised membership and professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

She works with adults, adolescents, and children, adapting her methods to each person's story while maintaining a client-centred framework. Her training includes a focus on women's health and trauma-related symptoms, Somatic and Polyvagal-informed techniques to explore how emotions show up in the body, and Internal Family Systems work to help people understand and negotiate conflicting internal parts.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in relationships, exploring how early relational experiences shape current bonds and helping to rebuild trust, closeness, and emotional safety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where therapists follow the client's lead to foster self-understanding and growth, which can be particularly helpful for building self-esteem and coping with transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. A licensed professional will work collaboratively with the person seeking help to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options increase accessibility for people who live far from services or have busy schedules, while enabling continuity of care when in-person meetings are not convenient. Therapists can adapt interventions to work effectively across these different formats, helping people move toward their goals from wherever they are.
