Background and approach

She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion throughout the work. In practical terms she blends structured and person-led ways of working. That means using tools to manage thoughts and behaviours alongside space to talk things through.

The focus is on small, achievable steps that build confidence and reduce immediate distress. Mystica has particular experience supporting people dealing with addictions, trauma, compassion fatigue and multicultural concerns. She also helps with phobias, paranoia and process addictions such as gambling or exercise preoccupation.

Clients can expect clear short-term goals alongside longer term planning when needed. Sessions may include reflection on past experiences and present patterns, alongside practical techniques to cope in daily life. The aim is to help people feel more able to handle stressors, make decisions and notice progress.

She encourages a collaborative approach so people stay involved in shaping their own therapy.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns of relating. In sessions this may mean noticing how trust, closeness or boundaries show up now and trying different ways of responding that feel safer and more effective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often uses simple exercises and homework to practise new skills between sessions, which suits online formats well. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people process distressing memories through a structured sequence of steps and may be used for trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options, explain how each method might help, and try different ways until the best fit emerges. The aim is to match methods to your goals and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy around daily life.
