Marjorie draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She uses client-centred methods to build trust and understanding. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and habits.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the heart of therapy and aims to create understanding through careful listening and reflection. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through stressful or painful events and to feel heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and coping with life changes because it encourages clear strategies and small experiments between sessions.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on safe, paced ways to process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on day-to-day life. It can be helpful for people affected by abuse, long-term trauma or distressing past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, talk through options and adapt methods as therapy progresses so that techniques match what a person needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face contact without travel, phone sessions work well when a low-bandwidth option is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
