How Viktoria’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce worry and improve coping with stress and sleep difficulties.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational method that helps people resolve doubts about change. It is useful for addiction, motivation around health goals, and making steady progress when someone feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Viktoria will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions and visual cues. Phone may suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can fit around busy days and allow brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and other commitments.
