Therapeutic approaches and taking therapy online
Ferne uses a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques so work in sessions can be both reflective and goal oriented. One common approach she uses focuses on understanding attachment - this looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repetitive ways of relating. Another approach is solution-focused work which aims to set clear, achievable goals and try out practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning.Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapy. Ferne will work collaboratively to identify what fits best for each person, combining methods where helpful. The process begins with listening carefully to your concerns, agreeing on aims, and checking in about what feels useful as you go.
Online therapy with Ferne uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be quicker or easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and support.
