Person-Centred Care Online - Approaches and Accessibility
Svetlana primarily uses a client-centred approach, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and is supported to discover their own solutions. This approach is helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-worth, grief, and major life transitions because it emphasises the client’s strengths and autonomy.She also practices relationally, placing empathy and authenticity at the heart of the therapeutic relationship. This means attention is paid to the interaction between therapist and client, helping to make sense of relationship difficulties, communication problems, and emotional patterns that affect daily life.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Svetlana collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses so the approach remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and there are options for live chat or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
