Therapeutic Approaches and Convenient Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where the person’s own perspective guides the pace and direction of the work - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and is often used to address anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and life choices, which can be useful for people facing major transitions, grief, or questions of purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Catherine will work collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative assessment helps shape sessions and any blending of methods that may be helpful.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility and easier access to regular support. These options allow people to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs, and enable ongoing contact with registered professionals and therapists without the constraints of travel.
