Client-centred and integrative support through online therapy

Client-centred therapy emphasises empathy, respect and the client’s own resources. It focuses on creating a supportive environment where people can explore identity, relationships, self-esteem and emotional difficulties at their own pace, helping them reconnect with their inner resilience.

Integrative counselling combines ideas from different therapeutic traditions to suit the needs of the individual. In practice this can mean using practical cognitive-behavioural tools for managing anxiety or mood alongside humanistic and psychodynamic exploration of patterns and life experience, depending on what feels most helpful for the person.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Lucy will work with each client to identify goals, test what helps and adapt the way of working to align with the client’s needs, preferences and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, allow people to access registered professionals from home, and provide different ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable.
