How Client-Centred Therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to lead the conversation. The therapist offers warmth and understanding while helping the client explore feelings, values and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship concerns by creating a space to make sense of emotions.Alex uses simple, practical ways of working alongside the Client-Centred stance. She helps people set small goals, try out new coping steps between sessions and reflect on what does or does not help. This can be useful for life changes, stress, parenting pressures and long-term challenges where steady, person-led progress matters.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and build rapport, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support and times when writing helps make thoughts clearer. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alex will collaborate with each person to decide which methods and session types fit their goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
