How Jill’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience, and online sessions keep that same emphasis on being heard and respected. It helps when someone needs a counsellor who will follow their lead and build on their strengths.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic and many habit-related concerns because it gives clear strategies to use between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy helps people develop awareness of the present moment and simple ways to reduce stress. It can be paired with other methods to manage worry, low mood or compulsive urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss options and help decide which combination of methods feels most useful for each person’s goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text sessions suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life while still using the same therapeutic tools.
