How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the client can lead the pace and topics, which helps when sorting out self-esteem, grief or relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and practical tools to reduce anxiety, tackle low mood and break unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand strong feelings and how they shape behaviour, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss different methods and agree what fits the client’s goals and preferences. Decisions about focus, pace and tools are made collaboratively so sessions feel relevant and manageable.
If you are considering online work, check the therapist's current session options before booking. Confirm whether the available format suits your needs and schedule. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time, while still using the chosen therapeutic techniques to make practical changes.
