How Annie’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel acknowledged. This approach suits people who need time to make sense of their feelings and to be heard without pressure.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches simple ways to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and managing difficult day-to-day reactions.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Annie will help clients choose which approach, or mix of approaches, fits their goals and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays practical and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations where visual connection helps. Phone calls can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and let people keep momentum between sessions.
