How client-centred care works online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and follows the person's lead to help them make sense of difficult feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship worries and trauma-related distress.Anna's background across charities and specialist settings feeds into a practical, down-to-earth online approach. She will work collaboratively to find the best way forward, checking what feels useful and adapting to each person's needs and goals as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, quick check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or other commitments.
