How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Ingrid-Maria describes a relational way of working that focuses on the connection between client and counsellor. This approach pays attention to how people relate, patterns in relationships and the emotional responses that come up during conversation. It helps when relationship difficulties, attachment wounds or communication problems are central to the concern.

She also emphasises body-aware work, noticing breath, posture and non-verbal signals. In practice this means bringing attention to bodily sensations during sessions to better understand emotions and how they show up. This can be useful for people dealing with trauma, anxiety, chronic stress or feelings that are hard to put into words.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and tailor the focus to individual needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most helpful as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and observation of body language, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break, chat and messaging offer continued contact between live sessions and can suit those who prefer writing. These formats aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
