How Etienne works

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and acceptance to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleeping difficulties.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Etienne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining listening-based work with practical skills or trying different techniques and reviewing what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options let people fit sessions around work, family or travel and make it simpler to attend from different locations.
