How Ken applies person-centred and solution-focused approaches online
Ken uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the client’s own views at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. It is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and general life stress.He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on small, practical steps that move things forward. This method focuses on identifying past successes and building straightforward goals, which can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, motivation and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ken will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then agree a plan that fits the person’s needs. He adapts methods as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with a counsellor. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier on days when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
