Approaches That Guide Online Work
Karen Mills uses evidence-informed approaches to structure online sessions and tailor work to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathic space where the client leads the pace and topics of therapy; it is helpful for building self-understanding, addressing relationship and attachment concerns, and exploring identity and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping - it often includes practical exercises and skills for managing symptoms day to day. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact, supporting recovery from abuse, loss, and overwhelming events.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karen works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.
Online sessions - by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for those balancing work, study, or family life. They make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access support from home, and fit therapy into a busy schedule while working with a registered professional.
