Therapeutic approaches for online healing and resilience
Alison uses client-centred therapy, which places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. This approach involves attentive listening, empathy and support to help people clarify their values, make choices and draw on their own strengths - it is often helpful for stress, relationship concerns and building self-esteem.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the impacts of traumatic experiences. This work concentrates on understanding how trauma affects emotions, thoughts and behaviour and offers structured ways to process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alison works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals and preferences. She assesses how different methods might be combined or adapted and invites clients to give feedback so the plan evolves together.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or geographically dispersed clients. Video calls and phone sessions preserve the feel of a conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, lower-intensity ways to stay in touch between sessions. Working online makes it easier to arrange appointments around work, family and travel, and allows people to access registered professionals from wherever they are.
