How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to speak and to be heard without judgement. It helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and to lead the pace of their own change. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and to strengthen commitment to practical steps; it can be useful for concerns such as addictions, lifestyle shifts or building new coping habits. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on what works now, so sessions often move quickly from problem discussion to practical next steps.Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful, try different techniques when needed, and adapt the work to a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to use over time.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when bandwidth or energy is limited. Many people find remote work helpful for staying consistent with appointments and for applying new skills between sessions.
