How therapy approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens actively and follows the person's pace, helping them to clarify what matters and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try small changes to feel and act differently. Existential Therapy encourages people to talk about meaning, choice and the things that matter most when life feels uncertain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as needs evolve.
Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also means people in different countries can work with registered or accredited professionals without relocating.
