Client-Centered Care and Hypnotherapy Available Online
Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy, and collaboration, and is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions.She also offers hypnotherapy, which uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access underlying thoughts and habits. In therapy this technique can be used alongside counselling to support habit change, reduce stress responses, and complement work around trauma-related symptoms and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Andrea works collaboratively with each person to determine what will fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on her training in both person-centred methods and hypnotherapy to tailor sessions to the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and can help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
