How Katie’s approaches translate to online work
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help them make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. This approach can suit people dealing with anxiety, low mood or life transitions. Dialectical behaviour therapy informed work offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and clearer communication, which many people find useful for stress, anger and relationship difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts methods over time rather than imposing a single style. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking as these are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer phone conversations to reduce bandwidth or avoid video, while others like face-to-face video for more visual connection. Discussing practical arrangements is part of the first steps so sessions fit into day-to-day routines.Areas of expertise
