How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work
Person-centred therapy focuses on the client’s experience and feelings, using active listening and open conversation to build understanding and self-direction. Online sessions let that same listening happen in regular meetings where the client leads the pace and topics. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories using guided eye movement or other bilateral stimulation; in online delivery the therapist follows the client’s pace while guiding the process and checking in often. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to breath and bodily sensations, teaching simple practices to reduce reactivity and support calmer thinking; these exercises can be led verbally in an online session.Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and the nature of their difficulties to decide together what to try first. Plans can change as progress is made and different methods can be combined to match what the person needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to access the therapist from different locations within the United Kingdom, while the practical structure of sessions and any preparation will be agreed at booking.
