Sessions & fees
Client-centred care delivered online
A Client-Centred Therapy approach means the therapist listens without judgement and helps people explore their own goals. This method is useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries because it focuses on the person's priorities and strengths.The therapist helps people make sense of traumatic experiences and emotional pain by reflecting what they say and asking open questions. That way the person stays in charge of what to focus on while the counsellor offers support and understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ayesha will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adjust the way she works to suit them. This collaborative process helps decide which methods and session formats will be most helpful.
Online therapy here can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel.
