Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experience, offering non-judgemental listening and support so people can explore what matters to them and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep. Trauma-focused therapy helps people gradually process distressing events at a pace they can manage, building coping skills and tolerance for difficult memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest ways of working. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls suit longer conversations and face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, live chat allows for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping therapeutic continuity.
