This background informs a practical, steady way of working.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy places the clients experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and follows the clients lead. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and parenting stress by creating space to talk and make sense of feelings.That same client-led stance adapts well to talking online. Sessions focus on what the person needs most, whether that is processing past hurts, building coping skills for day-to-day stress, or working through changes in life. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose the most helpful way of working and will adjust the approach as goals evolve.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and make regular contact easier for many people.
