She has five years of professional experience working with adults in a range of common mental health and life-change situations.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that move things forward. Sessions focus on strengths, past successes and simple goals to try between meetings. It often suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented work for issues like stress, anxiety or coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether person-centred listening, solution-focused tasks, or a combination is best. That decision is revisited as needs change so the plan stays useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video suits more in-depth conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
