Therapeutic approaches used in online practice
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences and early relationships shape present feelings, thoughts and interpersonal patterns. This approach can help people explore underlying causes of recurring difficulties and gain deeper self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns by developing new coping strategies and perspective shifts.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-judgmental relationship where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions. It supports building self-compassion, confidence and personal agency through attentive listening and reflection.
