How Naghma's Approaches Work Online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and mirrors what a person says to help them notice strengths and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm space to make sense of feelings and find direction.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviours. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching practical thinking and behaviour strategies.
Mindfulness practices help people notice the present moment without judgement. Short exercises can reduce reactivity and improve focus, which supports coping with worry and strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then choose or blend methods collaboratively. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and help people keep continuity of care across locations.
