Therapeutic approaches and online care with Gillian Hartley



Gillian uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and tailoring pace and focus to what the individual needs, and it can be especially helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and emotional recovery after loss or trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another approach Gillian employs to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is often effective for anxiety, stress, low mood, and everyday coping challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on concrete goals and small, achievable steps toward change. It can be a good fit for those looking for short-term progress or clearer direction during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gillian will work collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to schedule care around work and family life and to choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively across different online formats, helping clients maintain consistency and momentum in therapy.
