Background and approach

She helps people recognise patterns that leave them feeling like an imposter or like they must hide parts of themselves to feel accepted. The focus is on clearer choices and more self‑compassion rather than judgement. Her approach draws on somatic work to connect body sensations with feelings and thoughts.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice what matters most and act in line with those values. Attachment‑based ideas are woven in to understand relationship patterns and improve emotional connection with self and others. Toni has nine years of experience and holds PACFA, which is listed as her professional credential.

Sessions are offered in English and tailored to the individual’s pace and needs. She intends to create a space where people can gently untangle confusion and learn usable skills. People often come for help with boundaries, people‑pleasing, anger, shame, or loneliness.

Toni supports exploration of body‑based responses, decision‑making blocks and ways to bring more calm and clarity into daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Somatic work helps people notice how emotions show up in the body, such as tightness, breath changes or numbness, and uses gentle exercises to reconnect body signals with feelings. This can be useful for trauma, anxiety and chronic stress where the body holds tension.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps in that direction while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It is practical for people struggling with avoidance, low motivation or values confusion. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connection and trust, helping people improve communication and emotional safety in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify what feels most helpful, adjust techniques over time and combine methods to match goals and comfort level.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options offer flexibility for people who prefer speaking by phone, want a shorter text check‑in, or need the visual contact of video. Many clients find the range of formats helps them maintain momentum and practise skills between sessions.
