How her approaches translate to online sessions
Person-centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own understanding of their situation. In practice this means a counsellor reflects back what a person says and encourages exploration of feelings, which can help with low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns.Existential Therapy addresses questions of meaning, choice and feeling stuck. It looks at life events and decisions, and helps people consider values and next steps when coping with loss, career changes or a sense of emptiness.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their situation rather than imposing a single route.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations, which can help when arranging appointments around work, caring duties or travel commitments.
