How Denise’s approaches work in online sessions

Client‑centred therapy puts your experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens carefully, follows your lead and adapts pace and communication to suit you. This approach helps when someone needs to feel understood before trying new strategies.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and stress because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Solution‑focused therapy looks for practical, short‑term steps that move you toward your goals. It is helpful when you want focused changes, such as improving sleep, managing anger or handling work and parenting pressures.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means approaches can be blended or adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and mirror a face‑to‑face session, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or suit lower bandwidth, and live chat or text can be used for brief check‑ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around everyday life and keep momentum between sessions.
