Person-centred and practical approaches for online therapy

Ellie uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person guides the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports people adjusting to major life changes, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues by emphasising empathy and the client’s own goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help people identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and structured, and can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with sleep or coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Ellie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect with registered professionals. Sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and mobility needs. These options support continuity of care and access to consistent therapeutic support from wherever the client is located.
