Geeta Khatani, BACP

Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and supports exploration of personal values, strengths and feelings in a non-judgemental way. Attachment-informed ideas look at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and emotional responses. This can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeating unhelpful relationship patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that suit their goals, pace and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief reflections, on-the-go support or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy days, while still keeping the therapeutic relationship central to the work.
