Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns at the centre of each session. The therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead and helps them decide what to work on. This approach is useful for low mood, stress, identity questions and relationship worries.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past events affect current feelings and reactions. It offers ways to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life, which can help with anxiety, dissociation and trauma responses.

Internal Family Systems understands that people have different inner parts with different needs. The therapist helps clients map those parts, notice how they interact and build more cooperative internal relationships, which can be useful for shame, codependency and self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they decide which approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling work, family and health. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins and people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility and make it easier to keep continuity of care when life is busy.
