Evidence-based approaches for online support



Sarah Porritt uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people recognise and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Person-centred therapy is another core element of her practice - this approach emphasises empathy, active listening and the client’s own strengths to foster personal insight and emotional growth. Mindfulness techniques are also incorporated to help people develop present-moment awareness and manage overwhelming thoughts and physiological stress responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to prioritise and how to adapt them to online sessions. The emphasis is on building a working relationship and tailoring the work to what helps the individual make meaningful changes.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into daily life and access registered professionals from different locations while keeping the focus on practical, evidence-informed work.
