How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist reflects back what the person says and helps them explore feelings at their own pace. This approach suits worries like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes because it makes space for the client to lead the conversation.Patricia’s straightforward, honest style pairs with the client-centred method by offering clear feedback while following the client’s priorities. Together the client and therapist decide which way of working fits best, and this is reviewed as needs or goals change. The process is collaborative and aims to help people become their own counsellor over time.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer typing to talking. These options give flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
