Approaches for Online Healing and Trauma Work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, non-judgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply, reflects what matters to the client, and supports self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for building confidence, addressing self-esteem concerns, and navigating life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact - it offers structured support for people coping with abuse, assault, or long-standing trauma responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Gillian works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve. The process is guided by the client’s priorities and pace.

Online therapy with registered professionals provides practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing lives, support timely access when distress arises, and let people choose the format that helps them engage most effectively in therapy.
