Claire Roberts, NCPS

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people an attentive, accepting space to talk and make sense of their feelings; online sessions let that conversation continue by phone, video or chat. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and changes to thinking and behaviour to reduce distress; this work adapts well to video sessions and messaging where homework and worksheets can be shared. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and stress and can be taught in short guided exercises during calls.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claire will work together with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something does not fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break more easily. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, notes between sessions or flexible ways to reflect without being on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try different formats as life changes.
