Online support options
How counselling approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people find their own answers, which can be useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when someone faces big life questions, loss or feelings of emptiness by examining values and what matters to them.
Narrative Therapy treats problems as separate from the person and pays attention to the stories they tell about themselves. Re-authoring those stories can change how someone responds to trauma, attachment issues or recurring patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. They will try different ways of working and adjust the approach together as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
