Karina Kaminski, NCPS

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a respectful, accepting space and follows the client’s lead to clarify goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive place to talk through feelings and make sense of difficult experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful patterns and trying practical exercises to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and tackling worry-driven habits.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Karina will work together with each person to decide whether to emphasise client-centred listening, CBT techniques or mindfulness practices based on their needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress and goals become clearer.

Online formats make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and use a conversational style. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or to fit a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. Registered or accredited professionals offer these options so people can choose what feels most practical for them.
