Client-Centered Care Online - Approaches and Access

Susan practices client-centered therapy, a collaborative approach that places the person's experience at the heart of the work. This method involves empathic listening, gentle reflection, and support for each person to explore their feelings and make choices that fit their values. It is well suited to people dealing with relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and questions about intimacy because it helps build self-understanding and personal agency.

Within sessions she focuses on the client's strengths and priorities, and finding the right way of working is treated as a shared task. Susan will work with each person to determine whether client-centered techniques or adjustments to the approach best match their needs, goals, and preferences, so the plan evolves together with the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and for those who cannot attend in person. These methods make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around daily life, and access a registered professional from different locations, while keeping the therapeutic focus on progress and practical support.
