Approaches that guide online sessions
Certain therapies shape how Catherine works online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and pace. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports the person in finding their own solutions. This approach helps with anxiety, self-esteem and day-to-day coping.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when someone is facing big life questions, loss, change or a sense of aimlessness. This style encourages honest conversation about values and how to make choices that fit what matters to the person.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Catherine will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. The collaboration aims to make therapy practical and relevant to real-life needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and daily commitments.
