Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people build self-understanding, confidence, and the ability to make choices that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by teaching strategies to reframe thinking and develop coping tools. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and small, achievable steps toward change, making it useful when clients want clear, short-term progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gillian works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as those needs evolve. Online therapy offers practical benefits that support this flexible approach. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support from registered professionals without losing momentum when life is busy or circumstances change. This range of options makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for the individual.
