Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Maria-Christina draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s concerns, helping them to reflect on values and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical skills to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences and everyday demands, and then suggest ways of working that suit the person. That conversation shapes whether sessions focus more on reflective listening, structured skill-building, or a blend of both.
Practical benefits of online counselling include easier scheduling around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time so sessions can fit into a busy day. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if a lower bandwidth option is preferable. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match your needs.
