Client-Centered and Humanistic Care Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so that clients can explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach helps people work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and issues around self-worth by placing the client’s experience at the centre of the process.
Raphaella also draws on integrated humanistic methods and creative techniques, using tools such as pictures, music, and timelines to help people express complex emotions and memories. These methods can be especially useful for grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and for younger clients or anyone who finds nonverbal expression helpful.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Raphaella works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to maintain continuity even when schedules change. These options support access for adults, children, and young people who prefer different ways of communicating and engaging in the therapeutic process.
