Approaches that guide online therapy and support
Debra draws on client-centred therapy, which places the person at the heart of the process and focuses on understanding experience from the client’s perspective - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationships and navigating life changes. She also uses motivational interviewing, a collaborative conversational style aimed at helping people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change - this can be effective for career decisions, coping strategies and behaviour change. Solution-focused therapy is another tool she uses, concentrating on strengths and practical steps to move forward quickly and clearly when clients want targeted help with specific problems.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Debra works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she adapts methods so the therapeutic plan fits the individual’s needs and circumstances.
Online therapy with Debra is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during work or family commitments and to access support from wherever a client is located, while working with registered professionals and therapists who guide the process.
