Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and small steps that can make life easier day to day. Her approach draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness helps with grounding and reducing anxiety in the moment. With seven years of practice, Peggy brings experience helping people through loss, identity questions, relationship conflicts and ongoing stress.
She has particular interest in supporting people from the LGBT community and understands the challenges they can face. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Peggy works with each person to find manageable coping strategies and to set realistic goals for change.
Approaches for online therapy and how they help
Peggy often draws on attachment‑based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps when issues involve trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems and phobias where practical steps can reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone calls are good when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check‑in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments.
