Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support

Sharon Palmer uses a blend of established techniques that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and introducing practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve coping - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Person-centred therapy emphasises empathy, nonjudgemental listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth, supporting issues like self-esteem and life transitions. Gestalt-informed work brings attention to present-moment experience and relational patterns, useful for resolving communication problems and exploring interpersonal dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful, adapting techniques to the client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances rather than applying a single formula.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different needs and lifestyles. These formats make it possible to access registered professionals from home or elsewhere, fitting therapy into busy schedules and allowing for continuity of care when in-person appointments are not feasible.
