Sessions & fees
Practical talk therapies and online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, offering space to talk and be listened to without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the individual's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility about how and when to connect. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging let people check in between longer sessions and work well for ongoing reflection or quick updates. Many people find online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
