Evidence-based approaches for online therapy
Emily integrates approaches that are grounded in research and tailored to each person's needs. Integrative counselling combines techniques from different therapies to address emotional patterns, relationships, and life transitions in a flexible way that suits the individual's goals. Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, a form of DBT, focuses on emotional overcontrol and can help with rigid coping styles, relationship problems, and difficulties with openness and vulnerability. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports people who are ambivalent about change, particularly useful for addictions and health-related behaviour shifts.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts techniques as progress is made. This collaborative process involves listening, trialing strategies, and adjusting the plan together with the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or caring responsibilities. These options increase accessibility for people living abroad, with mobility limits, or with busy schedules, while still allowing meaningful, evidence-based work with registered professionals and therapists.
