Client-Centered Methods and Online Support
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s experience is central; it helps people explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-understanding to guide meaningful change. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change, often useful for decisions about relationships, career steps, or health-related behaviour. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical, forward-looking strategies by identifying existing strengths and small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals.Deciding which approach or blend of approaches will work best is part of the therapeutic process. Caroline works collaboratively with clients to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods accordingly so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access support from home or other convenient locations, while working with registered professionals who tailor the approach to each person’s situation.
