Client-Centred and Solution-Focused Support Online

Laura offers two complementary approaches in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client's lead - the therapist listens deeply, reflects what is shared and helps the person explore feelings, identity and relationships at their own pace. This approach can be helpful when someone needs space to understand themselves, build self-esteem or work through complex emotions.

Solution-Focused Therapy is more goal-oriented and practical. It concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and resources that move a person toward clearer goals, making it useful for stress, relationship challenges or navigating specific life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to decide which method - or combination of methods - best aligns with their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts her style so sessions are useful and comfortable for each individual.

Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, connect across locations and choose the format that feels most supportive.
