About Lottie
She aims to make sessions feel calm and manageable. Lottie blends warmth and a bit of humor to ease tension and lower the bar for hard conversations. Her style centers on short-term goals, skill building, and finding small changes that make daily life easier.
Over the years she has worked with people facing parenting strains, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and fertility concerns, and issues like abandonment, guilt, and shame. She also supports those navigating divorce, infidelity, personality challenges, and pregnancy or postpartum transitions. Lottie focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and improve communication.
Her approach uses tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical strategies, along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused exercises. She helps clients try simple exercises in session and practice them between meetings to build momentum.
Outside of work she is a wife and mother of two young children who enjoys reading, music, and travel. She aims to keep sessions relaxed and uplift clients while tackling difficult topics together.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, chronic health struggles, and finding meaning when life feels off track. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often includes homework and practical skill practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help during intense moments and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so treatment fits their needs and daily life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let clients work on skills in the places where daily life happens, making practice more convenient and transferable to real situations.
