Ways of working Sarah names

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

Person-Centred and Practical Support Online

Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening without judging and giving the client space to lead. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to explore their own solutions at their own pace.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what changes would show progress. It suits people who want focused, goal-oriented sessions to move forward. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and increase their motivation to try different behaviours.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together with the client. This collaborative process helps match technique to need rather than imposing a fixed model.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can fit a short check-in during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments while keeping continuity of care.
