Client-Centred and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Support
Teresa draws on client-centred therapy, a person-focused approach that emphasises understanding and acceptance. In practice this means the therapist offers empathic listening and reflective responses to help clients explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and work through issues such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or life transitions. Mindfulness therapy complements this by teaching simple attention and awareness techniques that help manage anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and stress. These practices support grounding, clearer thinking, and more regulated emotional responses.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Teresa will collaborate with each client to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the way she works as understanding grows. Registered professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan that suits the individual.
Online therapy with Teresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access support from different locations. The flexibility of these options helps people maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
