Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and reflection. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen coping skills for issues like low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. It is often used to address anxiety, panic, and unhelpful thinking patterns by teaching tools for managing symptoms and changing responses to stressful situations.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and small, achievable steps toward change rather than dwelling on problems. It works well for clients seeking clear, short-term progress with issues such as life transitions, motivation, and specific relationship or family challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sophie works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative mindset helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage mobility or location constraints, and maintain continuity of care when life gets changing. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and accessible for their circumstances.
