How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client's priorities to help build confidence and clarity. This approach is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, stress and life changes.Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and values. It helps people facing big decisions, uncertainty or feelings of emptiness by exploring what's important and what gives life purpose. Issues like career direction, grief and coping with change can be considered through this lens.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and will help decide which ideas and techniques to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as the relationship develops.
Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt conversation style, exercises and pacing so sessions suit everyday schedules and goals.
