Approaches that guide online therapeutic support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective leads the pace and direction of therapy - it helps people who need empathy, validation and help exploring their own values and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors; it can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns of thinking.
Catherine works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She sees finding the right method as part of the therapy process and invites clients to explore options together with a focus on what helps them make meaningful progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier for people to access support around work, family and other commitments. For many clients this accessibility supports consistent engagement and allows therapists and licensed professionals to tailor contact to what suits each person best.
