Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as practical steps and emotional understanding develop together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging, so people can choose what suits their day. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and fit a walk or a break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between calls. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
