How client-centred and solution-focused work fits online

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding the person as they are. The counsellor offers a warm, non-judgemental space and follows the client's pace to help them name what matters and decide next steps. This approach is useful for issues like low self-worth, attachment wounds and grief.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and small changes. It asks what a better day looks like and identifies manageable actions to move toward that vision. It suits people who want concrete tools for stress, anxiety, relationship communication and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alessandra will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then choose a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needed during therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation and seeing emotional cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving or times when written reflection helps more than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
