Therapeutic approaches and online support with Louise Banks

Louise Banks uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where a person’s own perspectives and goals direct the pace of change - it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring life changes, and processing grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and gradual behaviour changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties - it can be practical for managing stress and improving daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louise works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods as the work progresses so the plan fits the individual rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Louise is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow registered professionals and therapists to deliver regular support across distances.
