How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps people explore their feelings at their own pace, which can ease anxiety and relationship concerns.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to support change. It helps people find their own reasons to act and can be useful for addictions, career moves or settling on personal goals.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, short-term goals. It looks at what is already working and builds small steps towards clearer outcomes, which suits people who want direct progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to match methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the approach together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when days are busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in person to an online setting, while focusing on clear goals and practical steps.
