Client-centred and solution-focused online therapy
Christine uses client-centred therapy as a foundation, which means the conversation centres on the person in front of her. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what she hears so clients can better understand their feelings and choices. This approach helps when people need a steady, supportive space to talk through painful events or confusing emotions.She also uses solution-focused therapy to help people set clear, achievable goals. This method looks for what is already working and builds small steps that move someone toward the life they want. It is especially useful for tackling stress, relationship problems, career decisions and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will discuss different ways of working and help decide what fits best with a person's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to match practical techniques to each individual's situation and to review the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady while balancing work, family and other commitments.
