How these approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and builds from their strengths. A counsellor offers empathic listening and helps the person make sense of their feelings, which can be useful for self-esteem, grief and life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that keep anxiety, low mood or anger going.

Mindfulness therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help when stress, overwhelm or rumination are getting in the way of daily life.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, hear what matters to the person and agree a plan that fits their goals. This collaborative process means methods can change as the work progresses.

Please check the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit video or phone conversations so therapy remains practical and goal-focused.
