Approaches that shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and meeting them with empathy to help clarify goals and make choices that feel right. It works well for people who want a supportive space to talk through big decisions and feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for stress, phobias and low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. This can support sleep, stress management and coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as the work develops.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming the available options helps you plan practical details like timing and how you prefer to connect. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions across time zones for international clients.
