About Nancy

With seven years of experience she has worked across issues including grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and coping with life changes. Additional interests include attachment and body image concerns, codependency, abandonment and aspects of ageing and cancer related stresses.
Nancy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and frames work around what each person needs and wants to achieve. Taking the first step can feel hard.
Nancy supports people at their own pace and helps them try out new ways of coping. If you are thinking about starting therapy she can help you turn small steps into clearer goals and steadier progress.

How Nancy works online
Another approach concentrates on emotional understanding and attachment. It helps people make sense of difficult feelings, address patterns in relationships and reduce shame or self-blame after experiences like abuse or abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits your goals and preferences, and may adapt methods over time as needs change. You are invited to feed back on what helps and what does not so the work stays relevant.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and removing travel time, which can make regular appointments more realistic. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or quieter conversations when that suits you better.
