How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. The counsellor offers genuine attention and reflection to help people understand their own feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. It is useful for rebuilding self-worth and exploring relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Sessions often include simple exercises that change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. CBT is helpful for anxiety, panic and mood problems where practical steps can reduce distress.
Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness. It can help with stress, rumination and managing strong emotions in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and try methods collaboratively so the person can see what fits best. The direction of therapy is chosen together, based on each person’s goals, needs and what feels manageable.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messages or chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping a steady course of support.
