Her practice blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered principles and creative, reflective methods to help people make sense of their experiences and build perspective. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, compassion fatigue, addictions, parenting challenges, career and self-esteem difficulties, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, vicarious trauma among first responders and healthcare staff, caregiver stress, and problems stemming from family of origin dynamics.

She also trains counsellors in counselling theory and practice within higher education. In session she uses reflective and creative approaches alongside practical techniques for acute stress and trauma, and she holds public liability insurance for both face-to-face and remote working.
