Approaches That Shape Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening with empathy and helping clients explore their feelings at their own pace - it supports people who need a non-judgmental space to process stress, grief, relationship concerns, or questions about identity. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility, helping those facing life transitions, uncertainty, or struggles with purpose to reflect on values and long-term direction. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change - it can be useful for career shifts, behavioural goals, or improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Zara works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure it remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect across locations, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
