How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering listening and gentle reflection to help you arrive at your own solutions. This approach supports issues like low self-worth, anxiety and life transitions by building a strong therapeutic relationship.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and simple strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, and to support changes in daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses to match what helps you most.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow more flexible meeting times. It can also make shorter check-ins or quieter, camera-free conversations possible when that is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can carry out effective therapy online when the method and practical arrangements suit the person and the issue at hand.
