Person-centred and Play Therapy Delivered Online
Deborah primarily works from a person-centred framework, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, life changes and relationship or parenting challenges. She also uses experiential play therapy with children - a hands-on, creative method that helps young people communicate and process emotions through play and activities tailored to their developmental level.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Deborah collaborates with each person or family to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make these approaches more accessible and flexible. They allow clients to connect from home or another convenient location, schedule appointments around busy lives, and maintain continuity of care across distances. Registered professionals like Deborah aim to make therapy effective and practical while working with each client to find the format that suits them best.
