Therapeutic approaches available for online sessions
Cheryl draws on client-centred therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach helps people who want an empathic, non-directive space to explore emotions, clarify values, and build self-directed change.She also uses trauma-focused techniques when addressing the effects of abuse, PTSD, or overwhelming life events. These methods aim to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact so clients can reclaim daily functioning and relationships.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is explored collaboratively. Cheryl and the client discuss needs, goals, and personal preferences to shape a plan that feels appropriate and manageable, with adjustments made as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue work through life changes, and to access support from different locations while working with registered professionals and therapists who match the client’s needs.
