Sessions & fees

How CBT and online sessions can help

Caroline uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a key approach. CBT helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and then try small, practical changes in behaviour. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, panic and many stress‑related problems.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to choose or adapt approaches based on their goals, needs and preferences. Finding the right method is part of the process and may evolve as work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video calls let people use face‑to‑face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can suit short check‑ins, written reflections or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule while still allowing focused therapeutic work.
