Evidence-based approaches for online support

Ann uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on building skills to manage stress and anxiety - helping clients identify triggers, develop coping strategies and practice pacing to reduce overwhelm. These approaches are useful for day-to-day emotional regulation and for tackling specific symptoms associated with anxiety and stress.

She also offers attachment-informed work for people dealing with family, relationship and parenting challenges. This approach explores patterns of connection and communication and helps people understand how past attachments influence present relationships, which can support repair and clearer boundaries.

For adults navigating a late ADHD diagnosis Ann provides targeted support around attention, organisation and concentration. That work emphasizes realistic routines, task strategies and gentle behavioural adjustments to improve functioning and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ann works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule appointments, access consistent support from home, and choose the mode of conversation that feels most comfortable. Registered professionals can adapt these formats to offer ongoing, flexible care that suits varied lifestyles and commitments.
