Approaches that shape online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of work. The counsellor follows each person’s lead, listening and reflecting to help them make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to regain confidence in decision-making.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept along by them. These practices can reduce rumination and ease stress or sleep problems by focusing attention on the present moment.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, practical changes and short-term goals. It works well when people want clear steps to tackle a specific problem or to build motivation and momentum.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest approaches that could fit best. Together they will adapt methods as progress is made and priorities shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person session is difficult. It can also allow practical use of mindfulness exercises between meetings to support steady progress.
