How therapeutic approaches can work online

Chido describes her work as person-centred and focused on active listening. Person-centred work places the person's experience at the centre and helps them feel heard while they think through their next steps. This approach can support grief, relationship changes and processing difficult emotions.

She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and addiction-related concerns. Trauma-focused techniques often involve carefully paced conversations that help a person make sense of upsetting memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Approaches for addiction-related issues typically focus on identifying triggers, building coping strategies and improving communication patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust those methods over time if needed.
