Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in listening with empathy and respecting each person's own experience. In practice this means the therapist offers a warm, non-directive environment where clients lead the conversation and set the pace for change - an approach that can help with identity exploration, relationship concerns and navigating strong emotions.

Abbie uses Client-Centered principles to support work around gender identity and intimate relationships, focusing on understanding each person or couple's goals rather than imposing a fixed plan. This collaborative process helps determine whether that approach remains the best fit or whether different techniques should be integrated to meet evolving needs.

Online therapy with Abbie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or on the go, support continuity of care across life transitions and allow clients to choose the format that feels most helpful for them. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt sessions to suit each client's preferences and practical circumstances.
