Bringing client-centered care to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace and direction of their own change. It is useful for people seeking understanding, emotional support, and clearer self-awareness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges by teaching skills that can be used between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and bodily sensations. It supports people who want to reduce rumination, improve stress management, and cultivate greater emotional balance.
Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. Anneke and the client work together to choose techniques that match the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and mobility needs. Many people find that remote sessions increase accessibility and help maintain consistency in their therapeutic work with registered professionals and therapists.
