Benedicta Sanio Ala-Oborie, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy rests on respectful, focused listening and the belief that people know their own lives best. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on hearing your experience and helping you make your own choices about change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and attachment patterns in relationships; in sessions the therapist helps identify emotional responses and the interactions that keep painful cycles going. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility; it can help when life changes, loss or questions about purpose feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benedicta will discuss options and tailor methods to your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether a more reflective psychodynamic route, person-centred listening, or emotion‑focused work is a better fit for you.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing notes between sessions or for people who find writing their thoughts easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still accessing registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
