Background and approach

Barbara draws on therapies that combine thought-focused techniques with emotion-focused work. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused methods to improve how feelings are experienced and expressed. Hypnotherapy and existential ideas are available when they fit a person’s needs.

Her interest includes a range of life challenges such as relationship and intimacy issues, career worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and coping with loss. She also supports those dealing with shame, isolation, panic, and the aftermath of traumatic events. With ten years of counseling experience, Barbara aims to help people rediscover self-worth and purpose.

She encourages self-compassion and practical steps toward better daily functioning. Work with her centers on collaboration and steady progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Barbara commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and meeting a person where they are. It helps people feel heard and builds self-trust. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when emotions and connection are central concerns. EFT helps people name and shift emotional patterns so they can respond differently in relationships and stressful moments. These approaches are presented in simple terms so each person can see what feels most useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each client to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Methods can be tried and adjusted over time rather than set in stone at the first session.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity when life or location changes. Barbara aims to use the format that best supports steady progress and practical skill building.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
