How Persephone works
She aims to create an open space where clients can talk without fear of judgement. Conversations focus on the issues that matter most to the client and move at a pace they are comfortable with. Persephone pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns that often shape everyday worries.
Her additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, kink and alternative sex culture, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication difficulties, dissociation and domestic violence. She also supports people coping with emptiness, fatherhood concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Persephone works with each person to set straightforward goals and to find small changes that make daily life easier. She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process as manageable as possible.

Practical therapy approaches and how they work online
Persephone draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems and practical changes. One common approach she uses helps people manage anxiety and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on recovery after trauma and abuse by helping people process distressing memories and learn grounding strategies that reduce dissociation and overwhelming emotion.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Persephone will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the relationship develops. This collaborative process helps decide which techniques fit best and when to try different strategies.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging provide flexibility for people who prefer typing or need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and build therapy into everyday life.
