Therapeutic approaches and online care

Arben uses a client-centered approach that emphasises empathy, active listening and collaboration to help people feel heard and understood. This approach supports work on relationship issues, attachment concerns and the emotional impact of life events by placing the client’s experience at the centre of sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical techniques for managing anxiety, depression, stress and related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing complements this work by helping people explore their readiness for change and strengthen their own motivation when addressing issues such as substance use or behavioural goals.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Registered professionals and therapists often adapt methods to suit each person, and Arben works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences. Online options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, offering flexibility in scheduling, the ability to connect from different locations and multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable.
