Carly Stafford , BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone wants to talk through emotions, relationship worries or uncertainty without being led. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and bring a steadier mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carly will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as new issues come up or as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which makes therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for appointments around work, study or caring responsibilities and make ongoing work easier to maintain.
