Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Effie Hicks

Effie works from an integrative framework that draws on several established approaches to support different kinds of difficulties. Jungian therapy explores personal symbols and the unconscious, using techniques such as dream work to help people understand deeper patterns and meaning in their lives. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm, helping clients respond more calmly to difficult thoughts and feelings. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current behaviour and feelings, offering a space to explore recurring patterns and make changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Effie collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She tailors methods to a client's needs, goals and preferences and adjusts the focus over time as the work develops.

Online therapy with Effie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes while allowing therapists and registered professionals to work directly with clients in ways that suit them.
