Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins that support steady progress. They also allow selecting session styles that suit a person - for example a shorter call for quick check-ins or a full session for deeper processing. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions match practical needs.
