Approaches for online therapy and relationship work

Sheila commonly draws on client-centered therapy, Imago relationship therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and experience, offering a respectful, non-directive space where personal insight and self-directed change can develop - this approach can be helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, depression, and general life transitions.

Imago relationship therapy focuses on patterns between partners and fosters improved communication, empathy, and connection, making it useful for couples dealing with conflict, intimacy concerns, or recurrent relationship problems. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support people managing stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Sheila works collaboratively with clients to identify what will best meet their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals tailor methods as the work unfolds so the chosen way of working may evolve over time.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility and wider access to therapy. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow clients to engage in a way that suits their day-to-day life while receiving consistent therapeutic support.
