Client-centred support online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens without judgement, mirrors what is heard and helps the person find their own path forward. This approach often suits people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles or uncertainty about life direction.The aim is to build an understanding relationship where the client feels heard. Kate will work collaboratively to identify what matters most, adapt the pace, and try different ways of working until the right fit emerges. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process based on needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel.
