How Mika uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting concerns back and helping them name what matters. This approach can help with feelings of isolation, low self-esteem and relationship problems.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep difficulties and staying calmer during upsetting moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mika will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as sessions progress.
