Person-centred and Creative Approaches for Online Support

Emily works from a person-centred perspective that emphasises empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This approach helps people who are navigating relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, grief, and emotional responses to trauma by creating space to explore feelings at their own pace.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to help clients develop awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations, which can be useful for managing stress, low mood, and anxiety. In addition, Emily draws on creative recovery techniques - using art, expressive activities, and flexible interventions - to open alternative routes for expression and reflection, particularly helpful for those who find verbal therapy alone limiting.

Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Registered professionals and therapists work together with each client to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits: greater scheduling flexibility, the ability to join sessions from different locations, and options to use the communication style that feels most comfortable. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapeutic support alongside everyday responsibilities.
