How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Megan practices Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. This approach can help with low mood, relationship concerns and issues that need steady, compassionate support.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness skills can reduce rumination and improve the ability to manage stress or anxiety in day-to-day life.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a person's goals and preferences and then adapt sessions to fit those needs. That way the method used evolves with progress and feedback from the person in therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and share more in-depth material. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or need flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, care responsibilities and busy schedules.
