Approaches you might try and how online sessions work
Leigh’s training emphasises evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping someone to make sense of their feelings and choices. It is useful for exploring low mood, relationship strain and confidence issues.She also draws on practical, problem-focused methods that look at current patterns and coping strategies. These approaches aim to identify unhelpful habits and test small changes that reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Leigh will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which techniques to use and how to pace the work.
