Online support options
How Caroline’s approaches suit online therapy
Caroline draws on attachment-based work and client-centred practice to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps when patterns of closeness or distance cause pain. Client-centred practice focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the person to find their own answers, which fits well with talking through concerns over video or phone.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape the approach collaboratively. That means trying things, checking how they land, and adjusting based on what helps the person most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or eyes need a break. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments and help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
