Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long explanations. Ann-Marie uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
Client-centred work makes space for the person's story and choices. Solution-focused methods aim to find small, useful changes that add up over time. Expect a calm, down-to-earth presence in sessions.
Ann-Marie helps people set manageable aims and practices between meetings. The aim is to make progress that fits day-to-day life, not to rush a recovery. Therapy is offered through a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and messaging.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person’s timetable.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Ann-Marie commonly draws on cognitive behavioural work and client-centred methods to guide online therapy. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and practising different responses. This can be useful for anxiety, social fears and day-to-day stress. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and aims to create an accepting space where the person’s own choices guide progress. Solution-focused techniques are also used to identify small, practical steps that can lead to quick improvements in routine and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals and try different ways of working to see what fits best. This collaborative approach helps tailor sessions to individual needs, whether the focus is on managing anxiety, coping with change or improving relationships.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles. Video is helpful for a face-to-face feel, while phone calls can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to continue work consistently.
