How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. It involves open listening and reflective conversation so the client sets the pace and topics. This approach can help with issues like low self-esteem, relationship problems and coping with life changes.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and feelings without reacting to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties to reduce unhelpful rumination and increase moment-to-moment calm.
Deciding which approach or mix of approaches suits a person is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together over the first few sessions to find what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and family commitments and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video where that is preferable.
