Background and approach

That background informs a practical approach to grief, trauma and abuse, and to emotional difficulties like depression and low self-esteem. She also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, career pressures, and compassion fatigue. Her work often combines somatic awareness with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas.

Sessions may include attention to bodily responses alongside discussion of thoughts, values and relationships. This can help when feelings feel stuck in the body or when old patterns repeat in close relationships. Ronke also has experience supporting neurodivergent people and conducts ADI-R interviews as part of neurological assessment processes.

She uses this experience to adapt sessions so they fit each person’s needs and communication style. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She aims to help people build clearer boundaries, repair connection where possible, and find ways to cope with change.

Practical steps and reflective conversation are offered in a calm, steady way.

How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online

Somatic-informed work looks at how feelings show up in the body and uses gentle attention to breath, posture and bodily sensation alongside talking. This can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and problems that feel stuck or hard to name.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small practical steps. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and move towards what matters to them, which is often helpful for stress, low mood and life transitions.

Attachment-based ideas pay attention to patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current connection. This can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and relationship repair.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped together and adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and they allow people to continue therapy if they move or travel.
