About Valerie
Working with both individuals and couples, she aims to create a space where clients feel heard and supported. Some come wanting to rebuild trust in a partnership, others seek clearer self-understanding, and many simply need help untangling what feels overwhelming. Valerie moves at each clientâs pace, prioritising a human connection that makes therapy feel collaborative and accessible.
Clients can expect a practitioner who listens actively, offers steady presence, and brings patience to the therapeutic process. She holds BACP credentialing - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in the UK, and she applies that training to help people find clearer ways forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, helping people address issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and intimacy-related concerns by working through relational wounds and building healthier connection styles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where clients lead the pace of change; it is useful for those seeking to deepen self-understanding, rebuild self-esteem, or process complex emotions such as grief and shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Valerie works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most helpful and adapt the work over time to match progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or ongoing support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each client.
