Therapeutic approaches and online support

Eleni commonly draws on client-centred therapy, trauma-focused therapy and mindfulness-informed techniques when working with people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths - it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship problems and life transitions. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to process and work through traumatic or abuse-related experiences, helping clients reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices that can reduce persistent worry and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Eleni works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists tailor these approaches to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone let people meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent contact when that fits better with work or caregiving commitments. These options can make it easier to access consistent support and to try different session formats as needs evolve.
