Person-centred and trauma-aware approaches for online therapy
Leigh draws on person-centred counselling, an approach that focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This method is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and general life changes.She also works with trauma-aware techniques that prioritise pacing, emotional safety and practical coping strategies to help people process difficult memories and reduce the ongoing impact of past events. These approaches are suited to those affected by abuse, loss or other traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Leigh treats this as a collaborative conversation. She will help identify which methods fit best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and can adapt the work over time as those needs change.
Online therapy with Leigh is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographical distance and differing communication preferences. Working remotely makes it easier to arrange regular sessions and to maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists regardless of location.
