Mia Bezzi, BACP

Mia commonly uses a person-centred approach and cognitive behavioural ideas in online work. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following what matters to the client, so sessions concentrate on the client’s goals and the issues they bring. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offer practical steps people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. She also offers mindfulness practices online, using short guided exercises and simple breathing work to reduce stress and improve sleep. Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps the client most. Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let people see visual cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a hands-free option. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins, brief reflections or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
