How Ariana’s approaches work online
Ariana uses client-centred therapy to place your experience at the heart of each session. This approach means the therapist listens actively, follows your lead and helps you clarify what matters most. It is useful for people who need space to be heard and understood.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current patterns. This can help when recurring problems or emotional reactions feel hard to shift. The work is often about noticing patterns and making different choices in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Ariana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the focus over time to suit what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter exchanges and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
