Sessions & fees
How therapy approaches translate to online support
Shanni commonly uses cognitive behavioural work and trauma-focused methods when offering online counselling. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test new ways of responding to stress, anxiety and mood problems. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events by working at a pace that the person finds manageable and building coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Shanni will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. This usually involves an initial discussion about what feels most helpful and some trialing of techniques to see what fits best.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life while working with registered or accredited professionals.
