How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and accepted. The counsellor offers honest, non-judgemental listening so the person can lead the conversation and set the pace. This approach helps with bereavement, trauma and emotional distress where feeling understood matters.Motivational Interviewing helps people sort out mixed feelings and find their own reasons for change. It uses gentle questions and reflective listening to identify small, practical steps for issues such as addiction, sleep difficulties or lifestyle shifts.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what works now and builds on it. Sessions concentrate on clear, short-term goals and small actions to try between meetings, which can suit people wanting manageable change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. That collaborative process helps shape the mix of methods used as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
