How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create understanding through listening and reflection. It helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or low self-worth and wants a supportive space to do that.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes and clear goals. It can be useful for people who want concrete steps to reduce stress, improve communication or tackle specific problems at work or home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which style or blend of styles might be most helpful. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find they can keep therapy going around work, study or caring commitments when sessions are arranged to suit their routine.
