Jaime Van Weede, NCPS

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space so the person can lead the work. It helps when someone feels stuck, unsure or needs to make sense of strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jaime will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values and pace. That collaborative decision can change as the work progresses and as different needs emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and to send short updates between sessions. Many people find this range of formats makes it easier to keep up with regular work toward their goals.
