How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's concerns at the centre of sessions. It involves listening, reflecting what matters to the person and supporting their own problem-solving, which helps with anxiety, relationship questions and self-esteem issues.Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like managing addiction, coping with life changes or reducing avoidant behaviour.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for short-term, practical goals. Sessions focus on small, achievable actions and what is already working, which can be useful for stress, panic or goal-setting around relationships and career choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss methods with the client and decide together what suits their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative approach helps set clear aims and review progress over time.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in appointments when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter time slot during a workday.
