Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Katie commonly uses person-centred work, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping people explore their feelings and values so they can make their own changes. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem and addressing relationship or identity concerns.She also applies cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. Solution-focused methods are used alongside these approaches to set achievable goals and develop immediate, strengths-based steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to access sessions from home, work or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while allowing registered professionals to deliver focused, structured support in ways that suit each client.
