Becky Caddell, BACP, NCPS

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies what matters most to them, and helps people make sense of their feelings in their own words. This approach is useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem because it starts from the person's experience.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. Sessions look for what is already working and build small, usable strategies to reduce stress or improve relationships. This method suits people who want concrete ways to try new behaviours between meetings.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Becky will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single style. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust as progress is made.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging offer practical benefits. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit into busy days or provide a written record of ideas. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping the focus on what the client wants to achieve.
