How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-based steps even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current feelings and connection, helping people understand patterns and build safer emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and she will adapt methods as therapy unfolds to fit each person's needs.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people to access a counsellor who speaks English or French regardless of location. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing and techniques so sessions work practically for day-to-day life.
