Client-Centered and CBT approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic environment where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach helps people who need space to explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-trust while working through issues like relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be especially useful for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kirsty works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She will discuss options, try techniques together, and adapt the plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternatives for those who prefer written communication or need brief, timely support. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access therapists who match a client’s needs.
