Person-centred and mindful approaches for online therapy
Bolade draws on person-centred counselling to put the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, follows what the client wants to discuss, and offers support that helps a person feel understood and valued. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries, and feeling stuck.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. Mindfulness exercises can reduce rumination, improve sleep patterns, and ease anxiety by teaching simple attention and breathing practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bolade will work collaboratively to discover what methods suit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can fit a short break at work or suit lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging lets people check in between longer sessions or choose support without being on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around everyday life commitments.
