Στόχος της είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς και υποστηρικτικού πλαισίου, όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, να κατανοήσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του και να αναζητήσει τους δικούς του τρόπους διαχείρισης των δυσκολιών και των αλλαγών που βιώνει.

Η συμβουλευτική μπορεί να αποτελέσει χώρο για θέματα όπως η αυτογνωσία, η αυτοεκτίμηση, η αποδοχή του εαυτού, η διαχείριση του άγχους, οι διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, η έκφραση των συναισθημάτων, η προσωπική ανάπτυξη και οι μεταβάσεις ζωής.

Για εκείνη, "η συμβουλευτική είναι, πάνω απ’ όλα, ένας χώρος ανθρώπινης συνάντησης· ένας χώρος όπου η ευαλωτότητα μπορεί να υπάρξει χωρίς να χρειάζεται να κρυφτεί και όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να αναζητήσει τον δικό του δρόμο προς την αλλαγή."
