CBT and Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Sonia Clarke uses evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is practical and structured, often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, depression and stress-related issues, helping clients develop coping strategies and clearer thinking.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable changes. Rather than exploring every detail of past problems, it helps clients set goals, identify what already works, and build on those solutions to move forward with greater confidence.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Sonia works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques to suit those priorities. Registered professionals aim to find the best fit rather than applying a single method.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging - offer practical flexibility for busy lives and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and mobility needs while maintaining continuity of care with a qualified therapist.
