Approaches and Access - Online Therapeutic Support

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and support for a person's own capacity to grow. It helps people explore their values, build self-understanding, and navigate relationship or life-transition challenges by placing the client at the heart of the process.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses that affect relationships and attachment. It is particularly useful for couples, family dynamics, and for individuals working through patterns of disconnection or abandonment issues.

Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills to reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety. These practices can help with managing overwhelm, improving focus, and supporting emotional regulation across a range of concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mei Yan will work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and priorities change.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations. These formats allow registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent therapeutic work while accommodating clients' practical needs and daily commitments.
