Vojislava Liversage, BACP

Person-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps when someone wants to make sense of feelings, build self-worth or work through relationship and life changes.

Vojislava also uses mindfulness-informed ideas in sessions to support calm and present-moment awareness. Mindfulness practices can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and low mood by teaching simple attention exercises and breathing techniques.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Together they check what helps and adjust the way they work as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be quicker for brief check-ins. Text and chat let clients write when it suits them and review what they said later. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel when that matters. These options give flexibility while keeping the same Person-Centred way of working.
