Ways of working Nichola names

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

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client make sense of their feelings. This approach supports people who need space to be heard and to build confidence in their own thinking.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and patterns that affect daily life. Sessions often include practical exercises and short tasks to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needs change, so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief reflections or when typing feels easier. This range makes it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping progress moving forward.
