Approaches for Online Support and Healing

Annabelle works with several therapeutic approaches that translate well to online settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client leads the pace and topics of therapy; it helps with building self-awareness, confidence, and clearer decision making. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact, and it is used to support recovery from abuse and other traumatic events. Somatic Therapy pays attention to physical responses to stress and trauma, helping people notice bodily signals and develop strategies to ease tension and regain calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Annabelle treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or geographical limitations. For many people, this accessibility supports consistent engagement and steady progress with registered professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to suit an online format.
