Approaches and online therapy with Nicola Vernon
Nicola draws on person-centered work, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused techniques to support clients online. Person-centered therapy focuses on providing an empathic, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and topics of work - it is helpful for people wanting to explore feelings, build self-understanding and regain a sense of agency. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and related patterns of thinking. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps toward preferred outcomes, which can be useful for people seeking concrete change or coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Nicola takes a collaborative stance - she will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals often blend approaches to suit individual circumstances, and Nicola uses her training to tailor sessions to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care and access to regular support.
