How Kate’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel understood and supports work on confidence, self-acceptance and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift painful emotional patterns, which can be useful for relationship issues and intimacy concerns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Kate collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as therapy progresses, with techniques introduced when they feel helpful.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. The biography notes flexible online sessions, but readers should confirm the exact session options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and accessible so it can be used alongside everyday commitments.
