How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Tina commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following the client’s lead so sessions feel relevant to their everyday life. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often use practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses emotionally focused ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns in relationships and day-to-day habits. Those approaches can help with anxiety, relationship strain, sleep issues and coping with life changes by teaching skills people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best, based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adapting the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions that include worksheets and shared exercises to practise between meetings.
