Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Lisa Howarth uses client-centred work to build a collaborative, empathetic relationship where a person’s experiences and goals guide the pace and focus of therapy. This approach helps people who need a non-judgemental space to explore identity, relationships and self-worth.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress. CBT is often useful for people seeking structured tools to change behaviour and improve day-to-day functioning.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past experiences are impacting present wellbeing; these approaches aim to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact while respecting each person’s readiness and boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals and therapists when needed to identify the best fit based on individual needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as work progresses.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across distances, accommodate varying energy levels and provide consistent access to support in ways that suit the client.
