Integrative approaches for effective online therapy
Emma uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a warm, empathetic space where the client's own goals and values guide the work - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes and strengthening the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it can be especially useful for managing anxiety, stress and mood difficulties. Psychodynamic Therapy explores underlying themes and relational patterns that influence current feelings and behaviour, which can help with long-standing relationship issues, trauma responses and repeating life patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Emma works collaboratively to discover what fits best for each person. She will discuss options, consider client goals and preferences, and adapt her methods as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Emma is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access regular support from home or while traveling, and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
