How Dorothi works
Sessions aim to be warm and straightforward so people can say what matters without jargon. Her style is non-judgemental and honest. She listens first and then helps people map where they are and what steps feel possible.
The focus is on giving people choices and helping them regain a sense of control over their next moves. Over nine years Dorothi has worked with people from a range of backgrounds and with many overlapping concerns. She encourages small, practical changes alongside talking so progress can feel clear and steady.
Many clients find that having a different, regular space to reflect helps them notice things they missed before. Therapy with Dorothi is collaborative. She supports people to take back power over difficult situations and to build a path toward the life they want.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape trust and connection. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, practise new ways of relating and rebuild a sense of safety in relationships.Client-centred counselling puts the client's experience at the centre, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs to talk openly about feelings and make choices at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. Dorothi will discuss what feels most useful for the person's goals and preferences, and adapt methods as work progresses in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want visual contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy schedule, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and daily life.
