Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sarah Thompson draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to tailor support to individual needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and support - this approach helps with self-exploration, confidence, and coping with life changes. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by helping clients develop new ways of thinking and problem-solving. EFT concentrates on emotional patterns in close relationships and can help people improve communication, resolve conflict, and deepen emotional connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most relevant, adjusting strategies as needs and goals evolve so the work aligns with the client’s preferences and situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to connect when travel is difficult, or to receive ongoing support from different locations while working with a registered professional who uses approaches suited to the client’s concerns.
