How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening, acceptance and meeting you where you are. The counsellor reflects back what you say, helps you feel heard and supports you to explore feelings without judgement. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.

Because Blandine works in a client-centred way, the early sessions are about building trust and understanding your priorities. She will work with you to decide how to address your issues and adjust the pace or focus as needed. Finding the right approach is a joint process based on your goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and avoid travel time. It can allow for shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions that slot into work or family routines.
