Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Carey-Sue often draws on client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy and mindfulness-based techniques when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client’s lead, valuing their lived experience and building on personal strengths to set and achieve goals - it is helpful for people seeking a collaborative, respectful way to explore life challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reshape emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy by creating space to process difficult feelings and practice new ways of connecting. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, present-moment awareness skills that can reduce stress, improve sleep and support emotional regulation in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Carey-Sue works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals and therapists to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family and geographical constraints. This range of options helps people access consistent care and maintain momentum between sessions while focusing on the approaches that suit them best.
