How her approaches translate to online counselling
A Client-Centred approach means the counsellor focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience, offering acceptance and empathy while they talk through difficult feelings. This style suits people who need steady emotional support and a space to make sense of things.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. CBT can help with anxiety, panic symptoms and patterns that keep mood low by replacing them with concrete strategies and short exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful and adapt techniques to fit a person's goals and preferences, deciding collaboratively which methods to use over time.
