How Person-Centred Work Adapts to Online Therapy
Tess uses Person-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings. This approach helps people feel understood and encouraged to find their own solutions, and it can be useful for worries like anxiety, self-esteem and codependency.Her background as a yoga teacher also brings attention to the body and grounding. That means sessions may include gentle invitations to notice physical sensations that relate to feelings, helping people feel more embodied while they talk.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide how sessions should run, based on individual needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can change if something else would fit better.
