How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. It emphasises empathy, acceptance and helping someone name their feelings so they can make clearer choices. This approach suits people who need a calm space to explore who they are and how they relate to others.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and how they show up now. It helps uncover repeating ways of relating and thinking that keep someone stuck, which can be useful for long-term issues like repeated relationship difficulties or persistent low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide whether more exploration or short-term goal work is best. Sessions can shift over time, mixing deeper reflection with practical steps that address immediate concerns.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can be quicker or easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus on real change.
