Person-centred and Creative Techniques in Online Therapy
Laura uses a person-centred approach that places the client's priorities at the centre of each session - this means the therapist follows the individual’s lead, listens deeply, and responds with empathy to help clarify goals and next steps. She also integrates creative psychotherapy methods, such as mark making, movement, and metaphor, which invite nonverbal ways to explore feelings and can be especially helpful for processing grief, family dynamics, low self-esteem, and transitions. In addition, Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions when useful, offering practical tools alongside expressive work to address stress, anxiety, and trauma-related responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Laura collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting verbal, creative, and structured methods to match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance supports a tailored pathway toward change.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without travelling. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow people to work from familiar environments, and provide multiple ways to engage so individuals can choose the method that best fits their lifestyle and comfort level.
