How these approaches can work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and reflects back what the person says to help them make sense of their own experience. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and decision-making.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to address distressing memories and trauma. It involves paced processing of memories alongside guided bilateral stimulation and can be used when trauma or abuse memories are a central concern.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person towards their goals. It is often used when someone wants brief, goal-orientated work on issues like stress, coping with change or improving daily routines.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find digital appointments help fit therapy into busy schedules, make evening booking easier and reduce travel time. Others prefer a shorter check-in or different pacing online, and the counsellor can discuss what will suit your needs.
