Online support
Client-centred therapy is built around a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance. It gives people space to talk at their own pace and to shape the conversation around what feels most pressing in their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the counsellor will collaborate with each person to choose what fits best. Goals, preferences and everyday rhythms are considered when deciding whether to lean more on relational, narrative or skills-based work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family and other commitments.
