Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Approaches Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy places the individual's experience at the heart of the work, emphasising empathy, listening, and a non-directive stance that helps people explore their feelings and values. This approach can be helpful for concerns such as self-esteem, relationship struggles, and questions about identity.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence present behaviour and emotional life, offering a way to understand recurring difficulties like attachment issues, guilt and shame, and interpersonal patterns. It supports deeper insight into how history shapes current experience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with people to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work as therapy progresses, checking in and adjusting the focus to ensure the approach remains helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access registered professionals from locations that suit them and at times that fit into busy lives. This range of options can make it easier to maintain continuity and adapt the format to what feels most comfortable and effective for the individual.
