Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
In her online practice, Karen Barnitt draws on client-centred therapy, narrative therapy and trauma-focused approaches to support people in different ways. Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and acceptance - it is useful for improving self-esteem, coping and life adjustments. Narrative therapy helps people explore and reframe the stories they tell about their lives, separating problems from identity and opening up new possibilities for change. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic events, using techniques that help reduce the ongoing effects of past experiences.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Karen works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She and the client review progress and adjust methods so therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to support. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy lives, access help from home and maintain continuity of care even when schedules or locations change.
