Sessions & fees
Person-centred approaches and online sessions
Person-centred therapy puts the client at the heart of the session. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own direction. This approach is useful for relationship strains, grief, stress, low mood and adjusting to life changes.Carol focuses on creating a collaborative plan. She will talk with the client about their goals and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. That process is flexible and adjusts to the person's needs, pace and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in when bandwidth is low or a shorter slot is needed. Live chat and messaging let people write things down in their own time and can suit those who prefer not to use audio or video. These options help people access registered or accredited professionals from different places and at times that suit them.
