Στο θεραπευτικό της έργο προσεγγίζει κάθε άνθρωπο ως τον μοναδικό ειδικό της δικής του εμπειρίας, αναγνωρίζοντας ότι οι προσωπικές ιστορίες, οι σχέσεις και τα νοήματα που συνδιαμορφώνονται επηρεάζουν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αντιλαμβανόμαστε τον εαυτό μας και τον κόσμο γύρω μας. Μέσα από μια διαδικασία διαλόγου και συνδιαμόρφωσης νοήματος, υποστηρίζει τους ανθρώπους στην ανάδειξη των προσωπικών τους πόρων και δυνατοτήτων, στην εξερεύνηση νέων προοπτικών και στη διαμόρφωση αλλαγών που ανταποκρίνονται στις ανάγκες, τις αξίες και τις επιθυμίες τους. Βασική της προτεραιότητα αποτελεί η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς, συνεργατικού και υποστηρικτικού θεραπευτικού πλαισίου, μέσα στο οποίο κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να νιώσει ότι ακούγεται, γίνεται κατανοητός και αντιμετωπίζεται με σεβασμό.
