Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Margaret Finnegan

Margaret Finnegan uses client-centered and cognitive behavioural approaches to support people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a non-judgemental space where individuals can explore their feelings and values; it is well suited to relationship concerns, grief and building self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and she works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best. As a registered professional, Margaret and the client explore needs, goals and preferences together, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and use therapeutic tools in day-to-day life while working with an experienced therapist.
