Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dina uses evidence-based techniques that help people understand patterns and build coping skills. One common focus is attachment-informed work, which looks at how early relationships shape adult reactions and helps people change recurring patterns in relationships.Another strand is problem-focused work that targets symptoms like anxiety and depression with practical strategies. This involves learning specific skills to manage mood, reduce worry and handle stressful moments more effectively.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and tailor the way she works so it fits their needs and pace.
