Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Support Online
Colette commonly draws on client-centred therapy and solution-focused therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy emphasises an empathic, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers understanding and acceptance to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings - this approach can be especially helpful for building self-awareness, addressing grief, and working through low self-esteem. Solution-focused therapy is brief and goal-oriented, concentrating on practical steps and existing strengths to create positive change - it is useful for tackling stress, decision-making, and specific challenges that benefit from clear, achievable goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Colette works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most appropriate based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and she may blend elements from both approaches to suit the situation.
Online therapy with Colette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to access support from home or work and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a registered professional.
