She combines therapeutic work and professional coaching to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse. Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar and depressive conditions, ADHD, and the many practical and emotional strains that come with life changes and caregiving.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and challenges that revolve around avoidance or feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and trust, supporting work on relationship issues, family conflict, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
