How Julie uses therapy techniques online
Julie often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses simple experiments and exercises to reduce anxiety, panic and negative self-talk. She also uses Humanistic Person Centred counselling, which focuses on listening and building self-understanding so people can find their own solutions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Julie treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will adapt techniques to what suits the person's goals and preferences. She will explain options and check in regularly to see what is helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want quick access between meetings. Overall online work can make therapy easier to fit around school, work and family life.
