How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering empathy and gentle reflection to help people feel heard and better able to make changes. This approach suits people who need space to talk through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress when someone wants clear tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Suzanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative approach means methods can be mixed or adapted as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice only, live chat works for quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while keeping momentum in the work.
