Person-Centered Support and Online Access

Rebecca practices Client-Centered Therapy, a humanistic approach that places the client at the centre of the process. In this model the therapist offers empathy, active listening and nonjudgmental support so clients can explore their feelings, clarify their values, and find their own solutions - it is well suited to issues like identity exploration, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Working online, Rebecca adapts these person-focused principles to virtual formats so the therapeutic relationship remains warm and collaborative. She works with clients to determine the best approach based on individual needs, goals and preferences, treating the selection of methods as a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support clients who live at a distance, and allow ongoing contact between sessions when helpful. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care while tailoring the experience to each person's circumstances.
