Client-Centered Therapy and Online Support Options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person seeking support, prioritising their experience, values, and goals. In this approach the therapist offers empathy, attentive listening, and nonjudgmental acceptance to help clients explore feelings and make sense of challenges. It is often helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, and difficulties with motivation.Within her practice Alison works collaboratively with clients to identify which ways of working suit them best. She will help clients consider their needs, preferences, and goals and together they will choose an approach or combination of approaches that feels like the best fit for the work ahead. That collaborative process is part of the therapy itself and supports clearer direction and practical progress.
Online therapy with registered professionals offers flexible ways to meet - by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can access support from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life and allow therapists and clients to adapt the format to what works best for each person.
