Background and approach

Sessions are planned together so each meeting addresses the most pressing concerns. Lianne helps people talk through anxiety, low mood, self-esteem worries and the impact of past abuse or trauma. She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of therapy.

That means sessions often focus on understanding feelings, clarifying values, and building the client’s own way forward. Lianne also pays attention to practical strains such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Clients who come with questions about relationships, attachment, or life transitions will find space to reflect.

She can help with issues like abandonment, guilt, shame, and struggles with body image. Lianne aims to create steady support while people explore change at their own pace. Her work feels straightforward and grounded.

She aims to make sessions comfortable, heard, and held, while working together on realistic next steps. People who want a collaborative, person-focused approach often find this style helpful.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens with acceptance and helps people find their own answers. This approach is well suited to anxiety, stress and questions about self-esteem because it builds on the client's strengths and priorities.

In practice sessions often involve reflecting on feelings, naming worries and choosing small, manageable steps forward. That way the work feels practical and grounded rather than prescriptive. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The counsellor will discuss what is helpful and adjust the style as needs change. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the person's goals, pace and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, reflective notes or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping focus on steady progress.
