Client-centred care online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears and follows the person’s priorities. This approach is helpful for issues like anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and questions about life purpose because it focuses on the person’s experience rather than applying a fixed method.Jacqueline aims to discover the best way of working together through conversation. She will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the pace and focus as the relationship develops. Deciding on the approach is a collaborative process that considers your needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break in a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, written reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
