Focus areas and approaches

Everything NaaDzama lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and depression by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing different responses. Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult memories in small steps so the person gains greater control over reactions and daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made or as new concerns arise, keeping the process flexible and collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
