How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client‑Centred Therapy puts the person’s concerns and priorities first. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, follows the client’s lead and reflects what they say to deepen understanding. This approach can help when someone needs a listening space to make sense of strong emotions or complex family situations.

Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move things forward. Sessions focus on identifying what is already working and building on it with clear short‑term goals. This can be useful for managing stress, improving communication or handling parenting challenges with concrete actions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps ensure the chosen methods fit the person’s needs, preferences and day‑to‑day life.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check‑ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or need flexible check‑ins outside scheduled calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and caring responsibilities.
