Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Support Online
Client-centered therapy emphasises the client as the expert in their own life and creates space for the person to be heard without judgment. It focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, increasing self-awareness, and supporting clients to find their own solutions to issues such as relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic experiences and the ways they affect thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. It can be helpful for people coping with abuse, dissociation, complex grief, or the long-term effects of interpersonal harm, and aims to support recovery and greater day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or location constraints. For many people, these options increase accessibility and allow therapy to fit more naturally into everyday life.
