Client-Centered and Humanistic Support Online



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental space where the therapist listens with empathy and mirrors clients' experiences back to them. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and work through issues such as anxiety, grief, or life transitions by prioritising the client’s own perspective.

Rooted in humanistic principles, Gayle’s work emphasises personal growth, self-acceptance, and the belief that people have the capacity to find their own solutions. This style is well suited to those seeking a compassionate, person-focused way to understand and navigate emotional challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be determined collaboratively. Gayle will work with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pace and focus as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or for those who prefer remote support. Registered professionals can provide meaningful, structured therapeutic work through these formats while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
