Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The counsellor provides a non‑judgemental space and reflects back what they hear so clients can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach helps with anxiety, grief and identity questions where being heard matters.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In sessions the counsellor and client identify unhelpful patterns and try practical experiments or new skills to reduce anxiety, panic attacks or low mood. CBT is useful for stress, panic and workplace issues.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a direction together. That collaborative planning can change during therapy as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for a fuller conversation, phone works when bandwidth is lower, chat or messaging can suit quick check‑ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities or travel commitments.
