How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters to them most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options and agree on a plan with the client. This is a collaborative process that can change as goals and needs evolve.
