Person-Centred and Integrative Support Delivered Online
Person-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space in which the person is accepted and heard. This approach encourages self-exploration and self-directed growth, and is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.An integrative approach brings together complementary techniques to match the needs of the individual. Rather than following a single manual, this style adapts methods to address specific challenges - for example helping with communication problems, coping with life changes, or managing stress - while keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Catherine Hirst collaborates with each person to determine which methods feel most appropriate for their goals, preferences and circumstances, reviewing progress and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around school, work and family commitments. For many people, remote working increases accessibility and continuity of care, allowing registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across different settings.
