About Verity
Her work combines person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches to offer tailored support for a wide range of concerns, including PTSD and CPTSD, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, loss, loneliness and low self-esteem. Previously she has worked in settings such as a boarding school and a psychological support service for young people in Bracknell, Berkshire, bringing experience of both educational and community-based practice.
Before moving into psychotherapy, Verity spent several years as a news broadcaster in radio and television in the UK and abroad, experience that deepened her ability to relate across cultures and to work effectively both in teams and independently. Clients from diverse backgrounds have found her understanding of religious and cultural differences helpful. She offers a calm, dependable therapeutic presence and approaches the work with respect, care and a focus on helping people gain clarity, make informed choices and manage life changes.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal needs. It can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or repeated relationship difficulties understand and change long-standing patterns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client's own resources for growth - the therapist offers empathy, presence and nonjudgmental listening to help individuals explore their feelings and make personal choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical strategies and exercises, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Verity works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may integrate elements from different approaches as the work evolves. This collaborative planning is intended to ensure the therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or work, to fit sessions around family and employment commitments, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools and exercises to work effectively across these formats.
