Background and approach

She listens carefully and adapts the pace to what feels manageable for each person. Her approach blends talking therapies and problem-solving techniques. She draws on client-centred methods to keep the person’s goals central.

Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding to them. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or finds change difficult. She also brings psychodynamic thinking into sessions to look at longer-term patterns that might keep repeating.

Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to address, whether that is sleep, coping with loss, relationship tensions or substance use. Constance aims to make the first steps clear and manageable. She supports people through change, offering steady, practical guidance and a non-judgemental space to talk.

The emphasis is on workable steps and realistic goals rather than quick fixes.

How Constance’s approaches work online

Constance combines client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person’s priorities and adjusting the pace to their needs, which suits conversations about grief, self-esteem and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Constance will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan that fits the person. That collaborative planning means sessions can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when a simpler check-in is needed, live chat offers shorter written exchanges, and messaging suits quick updates or ongoing support between calls. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and daily life.
