Her background includes working with sexual assault and incest trauma in clinical settings.

Her practice emphasizes respect for diversity and equal treatment, shaped by her own BAME background.

To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships form patterns that affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why they respond in certain ways and aims to build steadier ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and uses active listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs space to clarify what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as priorities shift or as different challenges arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the option for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can reduce travel and make it simpler to keep continuity after a life change, though specific session formats are not listed in the original profile. Please confirm the available session options before booking so you know what will work with your schedule and circumstances.
