Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflection to help people clarify their feelings, build self-awareness, and find their own solutions - this approach suits issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relational concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and introduces practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, sleep difficulties, and coping with overwhelm by teaching skills that can be applied between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses patterns in close relationships by helping people understand and express underlying emotions and needs. It is particularly helpful for attachment-related difficulties, communication problems, and rebuilding connection after conflict or loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katharine (Kate) James works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting plans as the work unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people, these options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain momentum between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
