How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and following their pace. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps a person find their own solutions; this approach fits well for issues like grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or feels stuck. It uses focused conversation to clarify goals and boost commitment to practical steps, which can help with career decisions, coping with life changes and managing unhealthy patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be explored together. Ruth will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals, needs and preferences and adjust as those needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days and let people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into everyday life.
