How Sarah uses counselling approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and supporting people to find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for grief, low self-esteem, and when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood where targeted techniques can bring quicker relief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and help decide which methods to try first. That means sessions can mix listening, practical exercises and short action plans tailored to each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to keep continuity when life is busy.
