She has worked alongside agencies involved in addictions, women’s support services and other referral bodies.
In sessions Savi focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking. She helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns, notice emotional responses and practise different ways of coping. The aim is to support clients toward better day-to-day functioning and more satisfying relationships.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and practical options
Existential ideas focus on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. This approach helps when people feel stuck, unsure about life direction or overwhelmed by big changes, and it encourages honest reflection about values and priorities.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, blends acceptance of difficult feelings with clear action steps tied to personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and patterns of avoidance because it teaches flexible ways of responding rather than trying to eliminate feelings outright.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and emotional responses today. It can help people who want to understand recurring patterns in relationships and learn new ways of connecting and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and then suggest a mix of methods that fit. That collaborative stance means plans can be adjusted if something is not working.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule regular work around busy lives.
