Sessions & fees
Approaches you can use online with a therapist
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's priorities and building a respectful relationship. It helps when someone needs a listening space to sort through feelings and make choices about what comes next.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest what might help most. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full face-to-face conversations; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and help people engage in ways that feel manageable.
