Therapeutic approaches adapted for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client with empathy and respect. It helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, identity and relationships while guiding them to make their own decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with coping, and helps clients develop tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation. It is useful for managing stress, improving sleep and increasing present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions in a way that feels meaningful and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging depending on what suits them. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
