How client-centred and solution-focused therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person steer the conversation towards what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs to make sense of emotions, build confidence, or just be heard.Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small practical steps. It looks for strengths and what is already working, then sets clear, achievable goals. This style suits people who want tools and actions to manage stress, anxiety, grief or career concerns.
Choosing the right way of working is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the person's needs, goals and preferences and try different approaches if needed. Together they test what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls give face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times with less bandwidth, and messaging allows quick questions or brief reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
