How Patricia's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach let people talk things through at their own pace and feel understood before moving forward.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions Patricia can help identify patterns, set small experiments and practise new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety, improve mood and manage cravings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan that fits. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, brief contact. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
