Approaches for Online Support and Practical Change
Emma draws on client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to shape online work. Client-centered therapy prioritises the relationship and the client's own resources, offering a supportive space to explore feelings, identity and relationship concerns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and build motivation for change, which can be useful for issues such as addiction or behaviour change. Solution-focused therapy emphasises practical steps and short-term goals, helping clients identify strengths and small, achievable changes to improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emma works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions to the individual, combining elements of different approaches when that best supports progress.
Online therapy with Emma is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving or mobility needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations while maintaining regular contact with a registered professional.
