Online support
In practice the counsellor creates a steady space for you to talk through feelings and decisions. Conversations focus on the things you want to change and on noticing small strengths. The therapist will work collaboratively with you to decide which ways of working feel most helpful and adjust as you go.
Online sessions give flexibility for different life rhythms. Video calls let you keep non-verbal contact when that helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support without scheduling a full call and can suit people who prefer writing to talking.
Across these formats Patricia aims to make therapy accessible and practical. She will discuss which format best meets your needs, goals and preferences so you can find a way of working that fits your life.
