Practical coping skills and steady emotional support are part of her work. Thelma trained in social work and counselling and holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, BACP.
She brings four years of formal counselling experience alongside a long background in social work and life coaching practice. This mix informs how she responds to emotional pain and difficult behaviour. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the person in front of her.
Thelma uses gentle guidance and strengths-based ideas so people can try things that fit their life. She encourages clients to discover what works for them and to build confidence in small steps. People can expect practical strategies, emotional validation and time to process loss or trauma.

How person-centred work and online therapy come together
Person-centred work focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own solutions. The approach involves open conversation, reflection and encouragement so a person can explore feelings and decide what helps them in everyday life.Evidence-based techniques can include practical coping exercises and emotion regulation strategies that target anxiety, stress and depressive symptoms. These tools are used alongside person-centred listening to help people try new ways of responding to difficult situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what matters to the person, try things that fit their goals and adjust methods as needed so the work feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or brief, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or different time zones and help people access consistent support without travelling.
