Approaches for Online Therapeutic Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work. This approach is useful for people wanting to explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-understanding at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and uses practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to distress. CBT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping habits.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and their impact, offering tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It is suited to people dealing with past abuse, assault, or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and can blend approaches when appropriate to tailor the work.
Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to maintain consistency in therapy and to access support from wherever the client is located within the United Kingdom.
