Background and approach
That means listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and helping people notice patterns in their thoughts and feelings. Conversations often look at relationships, work concerns, self-esteem, grief and major life changes. Blandine trained in counselling and psychology and holds BACP accreditation.
She has around four years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stresses and relationship difficulties. Her experience also covers areas such as addiction, immigration issues and ageing-related worries. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and Blandine accepts international clients.
She describes the counselling room as a place to reflect without judgement and to explore realistic steps forward. Short-term or open-ended work is possible depending on each person’s needs. Blandine encourages people to be curious about themselves and to try small changes that can lead to greater clarity and wellbeing.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and on being listened to without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, helps you notice patterns, and supports you to make decisions that feel right. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and the stress of life changes.Online sessions can keep the same client-centred feel as face-to-face work. Conversations remain collaborative - the therapist will help choose the pace, topics and goals that match your needs. Deciding which approach to try is part of the process, and Blandine will work with you to find what fits your preferences and aims.
Practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow visual connection when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options can make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or caring responsibilities while still getting consistent support from a registered or accredited professional.
