Ways of working Sarah names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Client-centred care and online therapy options

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers attentive listening, reflection and empathy, and follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or identity concerns by encouraging self-understanding and practical changes.

Sessions are collaborative. The therapist will help you choose the style and pace that suit your needs and goals. Together you will review what helps, adapt the approach if needed, and set manageable steps to try between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter or more flexible contact and can fit around work or caregiving commitments. These options make it easier to keep work consistent and to fit therapy into a busy life.
