Client-Centred practice and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what the client says back, helping them to clarify feelings and make choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and processing past hurt.Finding the right way of working is part of the counselling process. Sandra will discuss how Client-Centred methods might fit your needs and help decide which steps to take next. That decision is made together, based on your goals and what feels most helpful.
Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online work helps them maintain steady appointments within a busy life while focusing directly on the issues they want to address.
