How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters to the client and follows the client's agenda to build understanding and trust. This approach is useful for people feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or wanting a calm space to talk about eating, anxiety or relationship concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. It looks for what is already working and uses that to set clear next steps. This method suits people who want practical strategies for stress, addiction-related challenges or improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to decide which methods best match the client's goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as goals change and progress is reviewed together.

The profile mentions that sessions may be offered online, by phone and face to face, but confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or travel, allow quicker check-ins and remove the need to travel to appointments. It can be especially helpful for maintaining continuity when life circumstances make in-person visits harder, while still allowing the same conversational and goal-focused methods to be used.
