Approaches that guide online work and planning

Jodi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and practical change. One common approach she uses centres on relational work, which looks at how past attachments influence current relationship patterns and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics. This approach is useful for concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.

Another strand of her work is practical coaching mixed with problem-solving. This involves setting small, achievable goals, trying steps between sessions and refining plans as progress is reviewed. It helps with career transitions, motivation and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person and choose methods that match that person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to check in during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling while keeping the focus on listening, planning and practical steps that suit everyday life.
