Approaches and online support for emotional wellbeing
Victoria Small commonly draws on client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) and mindfulness-based approaches when working online. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration - the therapist creates a supportive space where the client's own insights and priorities guide the pace and focus of work, which can be helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes.Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on helping people identify and shift unhelpful emotional patterns in close relationships. It is useful when addressing attachment concerns, intimacy-related issues and patterns of conflict. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and acceptance skills that can reduce rumination and help manage stress, anxiety and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria Small works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences and adapts the plan as therapy progresses. Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy lives while still working with registered professionals and therapists to make meaningful progress.
